Sarah Paulick

Sarah Paulick is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 17 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and career concerns. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at helping clients find clearer ways forward.

Sarah often works with people who have experienced traumatic events and with those carrying long-term stress from caregiving, first-responder work, or chronic illness. She also supports people facing relationship and intimacy-related struggles, addictive behaviors, and challenges with attention or mood. Sessions are meant to build coping skills and strengthen everyday functioning.

In session she uses straightforward tools drawn from cognitive behavioral methods and acceptance-based practices, along with attachment-informed perspective. Conversations are collaborative and paced to match each person’s needs. The goal is to identify patterns, test realistic changes, and practice skills that fit daily life.

She values cultural awareness and tailors her work to each person’s context. Early sessions focus on understanding priorities, safety, and practical next steps. Later work mixes skill-building, meaningful processing of difficult experiences, and planning for sustainable change.

Clients who want clear, skills-focused help with trauma, mood, or life transitions may find this approach helpful. To begin, readers can follow the site directions to answer a short questionnaire and schedule a first meeting.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings and take action toward valued goals. It is useful when stress, anxiety, or life changes get in the way of everyday living. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people learn new ways to connect and trust. This can be helpful for intimacy, abandonment, and family of origin issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns, which often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep, and substance-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Early sessions typically focus on priorities and short-term goals, and then the plan is adjusted as progress is made.

Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as this profile does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they reduce travel time, allow follow-up check-ins without taking a long break from work, and can let people practice skills in their real routines. Therapists can adapt exercises used in ACT, attachment work, and CBT to an online setting so clients can try tools between meetings and track what helps most.
