About Sarah
Sarah Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Mississippi with six years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and cope with life changes. Sarah also addresses relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career issues, and codependency-related patterns.
Her sessions are straightforward and relaxed. She listens without judgment and encourages clear, honest conversation about what is causing strain. People can expect practical steps alongside room to talk through hard feelings.
Sarah draws from several approaches to keep work focused and useful. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s lead and build trust. She brings Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors.
Motivational Interviewing is part of her toolkit for people weighing change or feeling stuck. Solution-Focused methods are used to set short-term goals and notice progress. Trauma-Focused techniques are applied when past harm affects daily life.
She has worked with clients facing adoption and foster care issues, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, body image concerns, domestic violence, and feelings of emptiness. Her experience also covers aging and geriatric issues, co-morbidity, and coping after disasters.
Sessions aim to be practical and collaborative. Sarah helps people name patterns like people-pleasing or difficulty saying no, then tries small, testable steps to shift them. The focus is on clearer boundaries and more manageable daily choices.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist respond to what the client brings each week and shape conversations around immediate concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online sessions CBT can include clear steps such as tracking thoughts, testing new behaviors between meetings, and reviewing results together to change patterns like people-pleasing or avoidance.
Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their reasons for change and build commitment at a manageable pace. Used online, it supports making small decisions and planning achievable next steps when motivation feels mixed.
Finding the right method is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which approaches to try and adjust the plan as they go.
The practical upside of online work is fitting sessions into everyday life. Confirm which session formats she offers before booking. Once formats are known, online meetings can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and make it easier to keep continuity of care while balancing work or family demands.
