About Sarah
Sarah Rodriguez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 19 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and problems with intimacy and relationships. She also supports concerns around parenting, anger, self-esteem, and major life changes.
She trained in psychology at Texas Tech University and holds a Master of Arts in Community Counseling from Webster University. Her background includes case management and individual counseling across a range of settings. This mix informs a practical, grounded approach when she meets with people.
Sarah uses several approaches in her work, including Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). She blends focused, solution-oriented techniques with deeper work when it’s needed. That means sessions can include skills practice, talking through patterns, and attention to emotions behind behaviors.
She has particular experience supporting survivors of trauma and sexual abuse, and people affected by domestic violence. She also addresses blended family concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, and issues that come with aging or caregiving roles.
Sarah invites straightforward conversation about what’s going on now and what people want to change. She asks practical questions, helps name difficult feelings, and works with clients to try different ways of handling painful memories, intense emotions, and relationship strain.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on noticing and naming emotions and the interaction patterns they create. In online sessions that can mean tracking moments of emotional disconnect and practicing new ways of responding to those feelings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings, clarify personal values, and take small committed actions. Online work often uses brief exercises and values-based planning between sessions to keep progress moving.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s needs and goals. That can mean trying skills-based work first, then moving to deeper emotion-focused sessions if that better matches what’s needed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit conversations into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce the time spent traveling. Therapists can assign short practices to try between sessions and use video or audio tools to guide skills practice and emotional processing.
