About Sarah
Sarah Lamie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois with 18 years of experience helping people manage everyday pressures. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Sarah speaks English and works with adults navigating practical and emotional challenges.
She uses straightforward talk and structured techniques to help people find clearer thinking and manageable steps. Sarah draws on client-centered methods to listen and prioritize the person's goals. She also uses cognitive behavioral approaches to notice unhelpful thoughts and try alternative responses.
Mindfulness practices are included when people want tools to lower anxiety and stay present during difficult moments. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and needs to reconnect with what matters to them. Narrative therapy can help people reframe life events and make sense of losses or changes.
Sarah has worked with issues common to aging and caregiving, chronic illness and pain, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and traumatic brain injury. She also addresses relationship communication problems, isolation, guilt and shame, forgiveness, impulsivity, life purpose, women's issues, and young adult concerns.
Her approach is practical and goal-focused. Sessions emphasize clear steps and options clients can try between meetings. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Sarah often uses client-centered therapy online, which focuses on listening and helping individuals set their own goals. This approach supports people who need someone to help them sort priorities and decide what to work on first.She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy in remote sessions to identify patterns of thought and try different responses. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it breaks problems into small, practical steps. Mindfulness-based techniques are offered to teach simple exercises that reduce worry and improve attention in daily life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and recommend methods that fit your situation. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into a work break, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when life is busy. The focus is on making sessions practical and usable in everyday life.
