About Sarah
Sarah Teague is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who practices in North Carolina. She brings seven years of clinical experience and a background in a range of mental health settings. Sarah focuses on helping people move through stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life transitions.
She has worked in outpatient clinics, delivered in-home care, and provided services in clinics addressing sexual assault, interpersonal violence, homelessness, and addictions. That mix of settings shaped a practical, down-to-earth approach to therapy.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on the issues you want to change. Sarah uses Client-Centered Therapy to build trust and help people feel heard. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns.
Solution-Focused Therapy helps set clear goals and track small, concrete steps forward. Her work covers many common concerns, including parenting strain, compassion fatigue, sleep problems, body image, career stress, and family conflict. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, codependency, commitment and communication problems, and challenges related to kink and alternative sex culture.
Sarah aims for a warm, collaborative style. She treats people as the experts on their own lives and helps them test realistic options. The goal is practical change you can notice between sessions.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening deeply and building trust. The therapist follows your lead, reflects what you share, and helps you feel understood so you can explore sensitive topics like relationship or intimacy concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Online sessions can use CBT to spot common thinking patterns and try different, practical ways of responding to stress, anxiety, sleep issues, or self-critical thinking.
Solution-Focused Therapy targets clear, short-term goals. In this approach the therapist helps identify small, actionable steps you can try between sessions to create forward movement on parenting strain, career decisions, or coping with life changes.
Finding the right fit is a team effort. The therapist will ask about your needs, goals, and preferences and will suggest approaches that match what you want to work on. Together you can adjust methods as progress or new priorities emerge.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for quick check-ins or brief support between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different communication styles.
