About Sarah

Sarah Serluco is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Georgia with three years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, grief, and patterns like codependency and people-pleasing.

Sarah focuses on practical steps people can use right away. She listens to how daily routines, beliefs, and relationships affect mood and behavior. Sessions typically look at what is getting in the way of clearer boundaries, better sleep, or more stable coping strategies.

Her approach draws on client-centered work, solution-focused ideas, and cognitive-behavioral techniques. That means conversations start from the client’s experience, move toward concrete small changes, and check what actually helps between sessions. She also uses elements from dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing when useful for emotion regulation and shifting motivation.

Sarah often helps people notice patterns that keep repeating, such as saying yes too often, avoiding conflict, or turning to substances to manage stress. In session she will help identify one or two manageable goals and practice skills to reach them. She also integrates life circumstances like fertility challenges, parenting strain, or workplace stress into practical plans.

Her style is straightforward and skills-focused. People who prefer clear, step-by-step strategies to address codependency, low self-esteem, or anxiety tend to do well with this approach. Sessions are offered in English and reflect Sarah’s clinical experience and the therapeutic methods she uses.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centered work focuses on the client's experience and priorities. It emphasizes listening and reflecting so people can name what matters and decide what to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to test new ways of responding to stress or relationship triggers. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skill-building for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques together, and adjust based on what the client finds useful. Clients often try small exercises between sessions to see what works and then refine the plan together.

The therapist's session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time from a schedule. It also makes it possible to practice skills in everyday settings and bring concrete situations from daily life into conversation. Licensed professionals can then use CBT or DBT worksheets, motivational interviewing questions, and solution-focused planning in the same session regardless of the delivery method.
