Sara Klahr , LPC

Sara Klahr, LPC, helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, and depression. She also supports those facing life changes, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem struggles, and issues tied to trauma, attachment, and codependency. Her work includes attention to women's issues and questions about life purpose and career direction.

Sara brings 30 years of counseling experience. She describes her style as genuine, direct, and non-judgmental. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps rather than jargon. Clients can expect straightforward conversation and tools to manage daily challenges.

Her approach centers on the person in the room. She uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect what matters most. Cognitive behavioral techniques help people spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavioral changes. Mindfulness exercises are offered to calm intense feelings and increase awareness.

Sara also draws on motivational interviewing to support changes people want to make and solution-focused work to build on strengths and quick wins. She aims to identify root causes of stressors and find coping techniques that fit each life. This mix keeps sessions practical and goal-oriented.

She offers multiple remote formats, having grown comfortable with teletherapy after recent experience. People can work with her by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. The focus is on making therapy fit a busy life and helping clients move toward lasting change.

Approaches that translate to online care

Client-centered therapy starts by listening closely to what matters to the person. The therapist reflects concerns, priorities, and goals so sessions stay focused on the client's experience and choices. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people test new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try different strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps. This is a collaborative process where the client's preferences shape each step.

Online sessions can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and practicing skills together. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text messaging offers quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to attend regularly and keep progress moving forward.
