About Sarah
Sarah Stapleton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Kentucky with 11 years of experience supporting people through stressful and uncertain times. She sees adults who are dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, and low self-esteem. Her work also touches on attachment concerns, caregiver stress, and problems with communication and control.
She focuses on practical, everyday challenges. Sessions aim to help people sort out what feels overwhelming and find clear next steps. Sarah asks direct questions and listens for what is making daily life harder, then helps identify simple changes to try between meetings.
Her background as an LCSW means she brings social work perspectives to problems like financial stress, caregiving strain, and workplace pressure. She pays attention to how life circumstances affect mental health and how actions at home or work can change things a little at a time.
Sarah works with issues related to substance use, first responder stress, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, and obsessive-compulsive concerns. She also supports people dealing with panic attacks and mood disorders by helping them plan specific steps to manage symptoms.
Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients. Cost varies with location and therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled through the online therapy options button.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Cognitive-style work helps people notice patterns of thinking that increase anxiety or low mood. It teaches practical skills to test and change those thoughts, and it can be useful for panic, worry, and mood problems.Behavioral approaches concentrate on changing what you do day to day. This can include activity scheduling to lift mood, exposure-style steps for panic or obsessions, and behavioral experiments to reduce avoidance. These methods break problems into actions that can be practiced between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will learn about your goals, preferences, and the practical limits you face. Together you decide what techniques to try and adjust them as you go, so therapy fits your life and priorities.
The exact online session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving, or transportation limits, and some formats can shorten check-ins or avoid video if that is preferable. Discuss format choices when you schedule to find what matches your schedule and needs.
