About Sarah
Dr. Sarah Kinsch is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are new to therapy feel comfortable taking the first steps.
Her approach aims to make therapy feel human and manageable rather than intimidating. She often begins by listening to what feels most urgent for the person sitting across from her. Then she helps set small, clear goals so progress is visible.
How Sarah works
Sessions are practical and conversational, with space for emotions and real-life problem solving. Sarah uses techniques from client-centered work to build trust and from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts. She also draws on skills from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
These methods are chosen to match each person’s needs rather than as fixed rules. She has particular experience with stress, anxiety, intimacy concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, grief, and bipolar-related challenges.
Additional focuses include attachment issues, communication problems, first responder and veteran issues, guilt and shame, impulsivity, life purpose, personality disorders, self-harm, self-love, women’s issues, workplace concerns, and young adult issues. Sessions can be scheduled in ways that fit a busy life. Sarah aims to make starting therapy straightforward - a chat about what matters now, and a plan for what comes next.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting relationship and following the person’s lead. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental listener and support to clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication skills for intense feelings or impulsive reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then choose or combine techniques that fit. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face when schedules allow. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to send shorter updates or get regular support without scheduling a full session. These options help people fit therapy into school, work, or shift schedules and maintain continuity of care across busy weeks.
