About Sarah
Sarah Stapleton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 11 years of clinical experience. She supports people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or major life changes. Sarah focuses on helping clients make practical steps when life feels stuck.
She listens with curiosity and respect, then helps clients sort through what matters most. Sessions aim to identify patterns that keep problems going and to try different ways of responding.
How Sarah works
Sarah uses straightforward, real-world strategies instead of jargon, and she works at a pace that fits each person. Sarah has a broad focus that includes trauma and abuse, anger, and self-esteem concerns. She also helps people facing attachment issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, control struggles, and addiction-related worries.
Other areas she addresses include compulsions or OCD symptoms, panic attacks, mood disorders, and feelings of isolation. Her practice also covers strains related to money, life purpose, guilt and shame, forgiveness, impulsivity, and challenges common to first responders. She draws on more than a decade of experience to tailor support to what a person needs right now.
Sessions are offered in English and provided to people located in Kentucky. Sarah structures work so that clients can try practical skills between sessions and track small changes over time.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often include approaches that teach practical skills and those that process difficult experiences. One common method focuses on building coping skills for anxiety and stress through short, targeted exercises people can practice between sessions. Another approach involves working through trauma and painful memories in paced ways so distress becomes easier to manage over time. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about symptoms, goals, and what feels most helpful, then suggest options and adjust as work progresses. Clients and the therapist make decisions together about which strategies to try. Online formats make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people use visual cues and more conversational work, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when written reflection helps. These options aim to increase flexibility and make it easier to keep momentum between appointments.Start online instead of waiting
