About Sarah
Sarah Mossa is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, sleep problems, relationship struggles, and attention-related concerns such as ADHD. She also supports those coping with grief after miscarriage, parenting strain, substance use changes, career stress, and issues with intimacy or self-esteem. Sarah brings a calm, straightforward approach to sessions that focuses on practical steps and clear goals.
She uses simple, collaborative methods so clients know what to expect each week.
Background and approach
Sessions often include talking through problem patterns, trying new coping strategies, and setting small, doable goals. Sarah frames work as a team effort where the client’s priorities guide the pace and focus. With two decades of experience, Sarah draws on a mix of approaches to match what each person needs.
She leans on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, attachment-based ideas to improve connection issues, and solution-focused tools to build on strengths. Motivational interviewing is used when people are weighing change or facing ambivalence. Sarah holds credentials as an LPCC and an LPC and practices from Illinois.
She has worked with a range of people including members of the LGBT community and those of various faith backgrounds. Her style is warm, practical, and goal-oriented, with attention to the everyday demands that make change hard to sustain. Therapy sessions are offered through phone or video and can include shorter check-ins or messaging when that fits someone’s life.
The focus is on achievable change and building skills that fit each person’s routine.
Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how patterns of closeness and distance affect current relationships. It helps people notice recurring interaction styles and try new ways of connecting when relationships feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical skills for reducing anxiety, improving sleep, and changing unhelpful habits through exercises and experiments between sessions.Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust as needed. That collaborative process helps make sure techniques are useful and fit into someone’s daily life.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or maintaining momentum between full sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other demands while focusing on practical change.
