Sarah Bentley , LPCC, LMHP

Sarah Bentley is a licensed counselor who focuses on helping adults who feel stuck by past hurts and repeating patterns. She offers steady, practical support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, addiction, or trouble with intimacy and self-worth.

Sarah uses straightforward conversation to find the experiences that shaped a person's current beliefs and reactions. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful patterns, reduce painful emotions, and build new ways of thinking and behaving. She often frames work around attachment and how early relationships still affect present life.

With ten years of clinical experience, Sarah blends client-centered listening with skills-based tools from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches. That mix lets people both understand their histories and practice concrete strategies for coping. She also has experience addressing trauma, addiction, body image, caregiving stress, and related concerns.

Sarah holds the Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor credential, LPCC, and the Licensed Mental Health Provider credential, LMHP, with licensure in New Mexico and Nebraska respectively. She sees adults in New Mexico and provides services in English.

Her practice offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Fees vary by location and therapist availability and are billed through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a time that works with the therapist's calendar.

How approaches like attachment work online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape present relationships and emotional responses. Online sessions can help people notice those patterns, name their effects, and practice new ways of relating in everyday life.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and follows the client's lead so goals come from the person's own values and needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That collaborative planning can shift as progress is made or needs change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when a low-bandwidth option is preferable, and live chat or text messaging supports quick check-ins or ongoing written reflections. These formats make it easier to fit care into a busy life and to try different ways of connecting while working on attachment, coping skills, or trauma-related concerns.
