About Sara
Sara Schwab is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri with 15 years of practice experience. She focuses on helping people who struggle with anxiety, attention and stress. Sara aims to create clear, practical steps clients can use right away.
Sara has worked in independent practice and in community mental health settings, and has experience as a coach. That mix shaped a pragmatic approach that blends creative problem solving with measurable goals.
How Sara works
She helps people set up routines and systems to make daily life more manageable. In sessions Sara pays attention to what is actually happening day to day. She uses simple tracking and feedback so clients can see small gains and adjust plans as needed.
The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. She supports people with a wide range of concerns including stress, depression, bipolar symptoms, addiction issues, sleep and eating problems, and struggles with self-esteem. Additional focus areas include autism and Asperger syndrome and midlife transitions.
Sara also works with people facing relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, career decisions, and questions related to sexual orientation and LGBT concerns. Her coaching background shows up when clients want hands-on strategies for better focus, time management, or coping with life changes. Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-oriented, with simple tools clients can use between meetings.
Sara helps people break big problems into manageable steps and tracks progress so changes feel real and sustainable.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Sara often uses structured, goal-focused techniques that help people change day-to-day habits. One common approach is behavioral planning, which breaks big problems into small, doable actions and tracks results over time; this helps with issues like anxiety, ADHD, sleep, and routines. Another useful method is skills coaching, where she teaches and practices concrete skills such as time management, stress reduction exercises, and coping steps for intense emotions; these tools help clients manage cravings, mood swings, or work and parenting demands.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted as progress is seen, and clients are encouraged to give feedback so sessions stay useful and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are handy for brief notes, quick coping reminders, or continuing work between sessions. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to use the format that best supports everyday life.
