About Sarah
Sarah Soto is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, bipolar concerns, anger, self-esteem, career challenges, and LGBT matters. She aims to make therapy direct and approachable for people who feel overwhelmed or uncertain about reaching out.
Sarah works from a person-centered, integrative, and eclectic stance. Sessions start by looking at the person and their goals.
How Sarah works
She pays attention to energy, intuition, and concrete information to shape the work together. She uses mindfulness exercises and practical stress-relief tools during sessions. Her background includes a Master’s degree in Counseling and two bachelor’s degrees in English and in Radio, Television, and Film.
She holds the LPC credential in Texas. Her approach is grounded in meeting people where they are and building a strong therapeutic relationship. In sessions she uses clear explanations, demonstrations, and hands-on practice.
She sometimes draws diagrams or leads breathing exercises to teach new skills. Humor and immediacy are part of how she connects and helps people notice small changes over time. Sarah values cultural awareness and advocates for queer and gender non-conforming people.
She describes therapy as a collaborative process where clients decide what change looks like and the therapist helps map the steps to reach it.

Approaches and how online sessions work
Sarah uses evidence-based techniques framed in simple, hands-on ways. Person-centered work means the conversation starts with the client's goals and experiences, and the therapist follows the person’s pace while offering guidance. Mindfulness practices are used to teach breathing and attention skills that help with stress, anxiety, and racing thoughts. Integrative and eclectic methods allow the therapist to pull from different tools - like brief behavioral exercises or grounding tasks - to match the problem at hand.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try different strategies, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to keep using and which to set aside as progress happens.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video works well when visual cues and demonstrations matter, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into workdays, caregiving routines, or times when travel is difficult.
