About Sarah
Sarah Veale is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee. She brings 22 years of clinical experience and a steady, practical approach to helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. Sarah focuses on clear skills people can use between sessions to feel more in control.
She draws on client-centered methods to build a respectful, nonjudgmental space where each person’s concerns matter. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and teach coping tools.
How Sarah works
Mindfulness techniques help slow things down when feelings feel overwhelming, and solution-focused steps keep the work goal-oriented and manageable. Sarah’s background includes work in inpatient, residential, juvenile detention, outpatient, and managed care settings across three states. That variety has shaped a practical style that emphasizes learning and rehearsal of new skills.
She values time, information, and education as foundations for change. In sessions she guides and coaches people to practice tools between meetings. She checks messages regularly Sunday through Friday and aims to respond within 24 hours.
Her schedule is described as fairly open and she can accommodate times outside the visible calendar. People come to Sarah for issues that include family conflict, communication problems, caregiver stress, self-harm concerns, mood and personality difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anger, intimacy issues, career questions, and bipolar disorder. She works with each concern by combining listening, practical training, and step-by-step plans.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered work focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely and responds to what matters most to the individual, helping them set goals and build coping routines that fit their life. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions relate. Sessions teach concrete tools to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and mood symptoms. Mindfulness methods train attention and present-moment awareness. These practices help slow reactivity and create breathing room when emotions feel intense. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Plans can be adjusted over time as progress is made. Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls provide face-to-face interaction for deeper conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let people stay connected between sessions and fit support into busy days. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling family, work, and other commitments.Start online instead of waiting
