About Sarah

Sarah Teague is a North Carolina Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults on relationship and intimacy issues, stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, and concerns such as sleep, parenting, career changes, and self-esteem. Sarah lists guilt and shame among the issues she addresses.

She previously worked across outpatient clinics and in-home care. Her background includes clinics serving people affected by sexual assault, interpersonal violence, homelessness, and addictions. She also served as a Behavioral Health Officer while in the U.S. Army. These roles shaped how she listens for immediate needs and safety concerns.

In sessions she centers the person in front of her and focuses on practical steps. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what feels most relevant to each person. She brings Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and to test new behaviors. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and track small changes.

People often come for help with family stress, communication problems, codependency, and feelings of emptiness or abandonment. Sarah also notes work with body image, kink and alternative sex culture, blended family challenges, and caregiver strain. She pays attention to how anxiety and trauma affect sleep and daily functioning.

Her style is collaborative and direct. She asks questions, suggests exercises, and follows up on what is or isn’t working. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before booking.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. Online sessions use that same emphasis by letting the client set topics and pace while the therapist reflects and asks clarifying questions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. Online CBT can include tracking moods, testing new behaviors between sessions, and reviewing what changed to reduce anxiety, guilt, or sleep disruption.

Solution-Focused Therapy narrows attention to concrete short-term goals. In remote sessions this often means picking one small change to try before the next appointment and checking results together.

Choosing an approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adapt techniques as those needs evolve.

Confirm current session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around work, handle a quicker check-in when time is limited, or avoid travel. Talk with the therapist about what will best fit your day-to-day life so sessions are practical and usable.
