About Sarah
Sarah Sommerville helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family tension, low self-esteem, and depression. She is Sarah Sommerville, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oregon with 13 years of experience. Sarah keeps conversations straightforward and compassionate.
She listens first, then tailors a plan to each person's needs. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings and clearer ways to name what feels hard. She pays attention to attachment patterns and communication problems that often lie beneath recurring conflicts.
How Sarah works

Sarah blends respectful listening with actionable strategies so clients can notice small improvements over time. She frames progress as a series of manageable steps rather than sudden fixes. Clients who choose her can expect a collaborative relationship where their values guide the pace and focus.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Sarah uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and building new habits. One common approach examines attachment and how early relationship patterns shape current interactions; this helps people see repeated reactions and try different ways of connecting. Another practical strand targets communication skills and problem-solving so people can handle conflicts more calmly and clearly.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose strategies based on their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress is made. The client and therapist decide together which tools to try first and how to measure small wins.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversations while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins or a way to keep momentum between longer sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and allow therapy to fit into busy lives.
