About Sarah
Sarah Calhoun is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with three years of clinical experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, trauma and grief. She works with people coping with depression, compassion fatigue, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and the practical strains of parenting and career change.
Sarah uses clear, direct conversation to identify what feels most urgent. She leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to help people notice unhelpful thinking and practice different ways of responding. She also brings Solution-Focused and Trauma-Focused approaches when the situation calls for them.
Sessions tend to focus on small, practical steps. That might look like trying a new coping skill, testing a different thought, or planning one action to change a pattern. Sarah pays attention to how past attachment wounds or abandonment issues show up now and helps people name those patterns.
She also supports people facing caregiver stress, chronic pain or health challenges, codependency, and the aftermath of separation or domestic violence. Topics like sleep, eating, and managing ADHD are addressed with concrete strategies rather than vague advice.
Sarah describes therapy as a collaborative process. She works with each person to form a plan that matches their concerns and daily life. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How CBT, DBT and trauma work in online sessions
Sarah commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thought patterns that fuel guilt and shame and to practice new, more balanced ways of thinking. CBT often includes specific exercises and short homework tasks to try between visits.She also applies Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT tools can be helpful when intense shame leads to overwhelming feelings or impulsive coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods fit the person’s goals and daily life. That collaborative plan can change as needs shift.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find that practicing CBT or DBT skills between sessions fits more naturally when appointments are easier to attend.
