About Sarah
Sarah Shaw is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with four years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and changes that come with parenting or career shifts. Her work includes addressing relationship and intimacy-related concerns and family conflict in individual sessions.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside client-centered and mindfulness approaches to guide conversations about feelings and patterns. Sessions are conversational and focused on recognizing emotions, identifying recurring interaction styles, and building clearer ways to respond. Sarah emphasizes direct, practical talking and reflection rather than jargon-heavy explanations.
Her background includes work with people facing anger, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and caregiver stress. She also supports those managing life transitions such as divorce, midlife changes, or shifting financial pressures. When relevant, she will address issues like guilt, shame, and questions about life purpose in straightforward terms.
Therapy sessions can include solution-focused steps and trauma-informed techniques when past events are getting in the way of daily life. Sarah aims to help clients notice patterns and practice different responses over time. She asks about goals at the start and checks in regularly to adjust what they work on.

How EFT, client-centered work and mindfulness fit into online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name difficult emotions and the interaction patterns that keep them stuck. It can be used to explore recurring relationship or intimacy-related dynamics and to practice new emotional responses.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what is said, and helps clarify goals and values in everyday language.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and stay present during stressful moments. It is often paired with other approaches when anxiety, anger, or grief make thinking clearly harder.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and together choose which methods to try. This collaborative process can shift over time as goals change.
Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, help with shorter check-ins, and remove travel time. Some people prefer a video session to work on facial expressions and tone, while others use phone sessions for quieter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Ask about formats when you complete the matching questionnaire.
