About Sarah
Sarah Burdett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 23 years of professional experience. She works with people carrying stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges. She also helps with life changes that feel overwhelming. Her practice notes guilt and shame among the issues she addresses.
In sessions she uses clear, practical conversation. She listens to what feels most urgent and focuses on workable steps. Sarah draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking, and on solution-focused methods to identify small changes that matter.
For relationship concerns she incorporates Gottman Method ideas to improve communication and reduce repeated conflict patterns. When experiences are stored in the body, she brings in somatic techniques to help people notice and shift physical tension. These tools are presented simply and in ways clients can try between meetings.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process. That means figuring out what helps most for the particular problem - whether that is skill building for anxiety, setting boundaries in a relationship, or processing a painful event. Sessions move at a pace the client can handle.
Practical matters are handled directly. Sarah matches the plan to each person’s life and goals. She explains approaches plainly and checks in about progress so adjustments can be made when needed.
How chosen approaches translate to online work
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions usually include identifying unhelpful thinking and trying new behaviors between meetings to see what changes. The Gottman Method focuses on communication patterns and practical strategies for reducing conflict and rebuilding connection, which can be reviewed and practiced in sessions. Somatic Therapy brings attention to bodily sensations and gentle movement or grounding practices to help regulate stress reactions and trauma responses.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and try approaches that fit those aims. That collaborative process means adjustments are made if something isn’t helpful, and techniques can be mixed based on what the client needs most.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit counseling into a weekday, allow for shorter check-ins during a break, or let them join without commuting. Discussing which style and scheduling pattern will work best happens during the first contacts so sessions can be arranged to suit everyday routines.
