About Sara
Sara Gatlin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career problems, depression, and major life changes. Sara aims to meet each person where they are and to treat them with respect and compassion.
Her work is practical and straightforward. Sessions often include talking through what feels most urgent, identifying small steps that fit into daily life, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
How Sara works
She and the client shape goals together so therapy stays relevant and useful. Sara also addresses issues tied to relationships and self-image, such as attachment concerns, body image, communication problems, and feelings of isolation or shame. She supports people wrestling with purpose, impulsivity, forgiveness, and the stresses of the workplace.
She pays attention to factors that matter to young adults and to women facing role or identity questions. The approach emphasizes building self-love, improving social anxiety, and strengthening confidence over time. Sara believes starting therapy takes courage and acknowledges that step.
She adapts conversations and plans to fit each person’s unique situation and pace, aiming for steady, practical progress rather than quick fixes.

Approaches for Online Support and Growth
Sara uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at practical change. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns to reduce anxiety and low mood. This method helps people notice automatic thoughts, test them, and develop more balanced ways of thinking.Another approach emphasizes skill-building for everyday life. That includes setting small, doable goals, improving communication skills, and practicing coping strategies for stress or impulsivity. These techniques often help with workplace stress, social anxiety, and managing strong emotions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client explore needs, goals, and preferences together and then try strategies that fit the person’s situation. Plans are adjusted based on what helps most over time.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth permits. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or work better when video is not possible. Live chat and texting offer flexibility for quick check-ins, journaling between sessions, or communicating when a scheduled call is not practical. These options aim to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life and to maintain momentum between meetings.
