Sarah Burdett , LPC

Sarah Burdett is a licensed professional counselor with 23 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, and parenting challenges. She practices in Pennsylvania and works with issues that often touch women’s lives, including postpartum concerns and pregnancy-related stress. Her approach is respectful and practical, focused on real changes clients can use day to day.

Sarah uses talking and active techniques to shape sessions around each person's needs. She listens for patterns that keep problems stuck and helps people test small changes between sessions. Conversations center on concrete goals like reducing anxiety, improving communication, or finding steadier routines after big life changes.

Her background includes long-term work with trauma and abuse survivors and people adjusting to major transitions. That experience informs a calm, steady style in which safety and pacing matter. She also brings tools for relationship work, including methods that help partners learn to communicate more effectively.

Common topics she addresses include parenting stress, blended family challenges, family of origin concerns, grief over life changes, workplace strain, and feelings of isolation. She pays attention to issues that often affect women, such as postpartum depression and the stress of balancing roles.

Sessions are tailored to what each person needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Sarah encourages small, manageable steps and practical coping strategies. She aims to help clients build skills they can use long after therapy ends.

Online approaches that fit your life

Sarah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT breaks problems into smaller parts so change feels doable and measurable, often helping with anxiety, stress, and mood issues.

She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and find what already works. This approach focuses on strengths and quick steps that lead toward clearer direction when handling parenting stress or relationship problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals, try methods that match your needs, and adjust the plan as you go. Clients collaborate on what feels most helpful and practical for their daily life.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and shared exercises, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief updates or unfolding thoughts between sessions. These options add flexibility for fitting therapy around work, childcare, and busy days.
