Sarah Watt , LMHC

Sarah Watt is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 15 years of experience supporting people through trauma, addiction, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. She combines practical, evidence-informed techniques with a compassionate, person-focused stance to help individuals build coping skills, process difficult experiences, and strengthen relationships. Sarah earned a bachelor’s degree in sociology in 2003 and a master’s degree in counseling in 2007 from John Carroll University, and she later established a private practice in Florida in 2017 after relocating to be with family.

Her clinical background spans inpatient hospital care, community mental health, residential treatment programs, in-school therapy, and outpatient practice settings, which informs a flexible approach to diverse needs. Sarah works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, intimacy and relationship issues, parenting and family problems, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and sleep difficulties. She also addresses attachment-related issues such as abandonment, codependency, infidelity, and dissociation, and offers support for gender dysphoria and veteran-related concerns.

Grounded in client-centered principles, Sarah draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma processing, and relational methods to tailor treatment to each person’s goals and circumstances. Her practice emphasizes collaboration - helping people identify priorities, build practical skills, and move toward greater stability and fulfillment over time.
