About Sarah

Sarah Mossa, LPCC, LPC, focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, sleep problems, addiction, low self-esteem, and relationship or intimacy issues. She also helps people facing parenting strains, career stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD concerns, and life transitions. She offers support for LGBT clients and addresses sensitive topics such as fertility, pregnancy loss, and sexual expression including kink and BDSM.

Her sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. She works alongside each person to set clear, achievable steps. Practical tools and straightforward talk are used to reduce overwhelm and build coping skills.

Sarah brings two decades of experience in counseling settings. She has provided care for people affected by chronic illness, cancer, caregiver stress, and first responder challenges, as well as those navigating divorce, blended family issues, or family of origin problems. That background informs a steady, experienced approach.

Common methods in her work include attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral strategies, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused planning. These approaches are blended to fit the situation rather than rigidly applied.

Sessions are available by phone, video, live chat, or text messaging, and international clients are supported in English. She practices from Illinois and draws on her years of experience to help people find practical ways forward.

How therapy approaches meet you online

Attachment-based work focuses on how past relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand trust, closeness, and communication in partnerships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them. Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on practical steps and small changes that move a person toward their goals quickly.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk through your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together you decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets you see facial cues and hold a fuller conversation. Phone can work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat or messaging can be used for brief updates, coaching-style support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
