About Sarah
Sarah Bachmaier is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with nine years of professional experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She also addresses related concerns such as codependency, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, and issues around control and isolation.
Sarah centers sessions on what each person wants to change. She treats clients as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Conversations focus on practical steps and clearer choices rather than labels. Initial meetings usually clarify immediate needs and set small, doable goals.
In sessions she uses methods that help process difficult memories and build internal motivation for change. This can include guided processing for traumatic memories and focused conversations about readiness and next steps. Those approaches are chosen to match the problem at hand, whether it is recurring anxiety, grief, or patterns of putting others first.
Sarah helps people practice setting boundaries, naming their needs, and responding differently in stressful relationships. She commonly works with people struggling with abandonment, codependent patterns, substance-related concerns in a loved one, and the shame that follows betrayal or loss. Therapy includes skill practice, reflection, and check-ins on progress.
She keeps language simple and direct in sessions. People who want straightforward conversation about safety, coping, and clearer choices often find this helpful. To begin, clients follow the site process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule their first session.
How sessions work
How EMDR and Motivational Interviewing translate to online work
EMDR is a method that helps people process painful memories by guiding attention while they recall those moments. It aims to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and is often used for trauma, abuse, and related symptoms. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people notice their own reasons for change and build commitment to practical steps. It is often used when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, history, and preferences and then recommend which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make scheduling easier and reduce travel time, which helps fit therapy into busy days. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins or phone-based conversations when video is difficult, while other formats support longer processing work when needed. The focus is on finding practical ways to use therapy in everyday life and on matching methods to the issues a person brings up.
