Sarah Serfilippi , LPC

Sarah Serfilippi is a licensed professional counselor with four years of experience. She practices in Pennsylvania and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She emphasizes clients' strengths and sees people as the experts on their own stories. Sarah aims to offer steady support when someone is ready to make a change.

Sarah uses a straightforward, respectful style in sessions. She listens first and follows each person’s lead. Conversations focus on what matters now - daily stress, self-esteem, or repeated patterns in relationships. She helps people name what’s getting in the way and try small, practical changes.

Her work draws on client-centered principles that prioritize the person’s perspective. She also weaves in mindfulness tools to manage intense feelings and narrative ideas to reframe personal stories. When trauma is part of the picture, she uses trauma-focused strategies to reduce its impact on everyday life.

Sessions are conversational and paced to fit each person. Sarah supports exploration of attachment and abandonment concerns, communication and commitment issues, and body image or caregiver stress. She also addresses chronic illness, codependency, impulsivity, and forgiveness struggles.

People seeking help can expect clear goals and practical steps between meetings. Sarah encourages small experiments that build confidence. Her approach is collaborative and grounded in real-world routines and choices.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients identify their own solutions. This approach is useful for people wanting a respectful space to sort out feelings and goals.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and body signals without getting swept away. These techniques can help reduce anxiety, manage stress, and calm intense emotions between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and life demands to decide which methods to use together. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy days. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be a good option when a camera isn’t practical. Live chat or text-based messaging supports short check-ins, written reflection, and flexibility when schedules are tight. These options help people maintain continuity of care while balancing errands, work, or family responsibilities.
