About Sarah

Sarah Freeman is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Kentucky with 19 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, and major life changes. Her practice also addresses codependency, attachment and communication problems, family of origin issues, and related concerns.

Sarah focuses on clear, practical work in sessions. She listens to what is happening now, helps identify patterns that cause pain, and supports clients in learning new ways to respond. Conversations in the room move toward specific coping skills and realistic next steps rather than vague theory.

Her background includes long experience with older adults, veterans, and first responders. That experience informs her approach to grief, trauma, and the complex reactions that follow crisis or loss. She also helps people who are navigating separation, addiction, or the fallout from family problems.

In sessions she addresses feelings like emptiness, shame, abandonment, and dependent personality patterns. She helps people who repeatedly put others first or who struggle to set boundaries and assert needs. Work often includes practicing communication, managing urges around substance use, and rebuilding a sense of direction after major change.

Sarah uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and focused conversation to help clients build practical skills. She supports people as they try out new behaviors between sessions and plans follow-up steps. To begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Sarah uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on problem-solving and skill building. One common approach emphasizes practical coping skills for anxiety and stress - teaching breathing, grounding, and step-by-step ways to break cycles of worry and avoidance. Another approach targets trauma-related reactions by helping people notice triggers, build tolerance for difficult feelings, and practice new responses in everyday situations.

Finding the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals and try approaches that fit a client's needs and preferences. Sessions include checking how tools feel in daily life and adjusting techniques based on what helps most.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules require. It also lets people continue support through transitions or when managing grief, stress, or recovery from addiction without changing their daily routine.
