Sarah Burdett

Sarah Burdett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 23 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical steps people can take when stress, anxiety, or life changes feel overwhelming. Sarah emphasizes clear, respectful conversation and works to create a plan that fits each person’s needs.

Sarah helps people who are dealing with relationship strain, parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, and the day-to-day pressures of work and home life. She also supports those facing postpartum struggles, seasonal mood changes, or feelings of isolation. Women’s issues are listed among her focus areas, and she addresses them alongside other concerns clients bring.

Her approach combines evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with relationship-focused methods such as the Gottman Method. She also draws on solution-focused strategies to set short-term goals and somatic work to help with body-based responses to stress. Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-oriented while honoring each person's pace.

Sarah adapts conversations and treatment plans to what each person needs. That might mean learning new ways to manage anxiety, improving communication, or working through past hurts. She frames therapy as a collaborative effort and supports clients as they try different tools.

Taking the first step is often the hardest part. Sarah offers steady guidance and practical techniques to help people move toward a more balanced, manageable life.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Sarah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; this approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. The Gottman Method offers concrete ways to improve communication and manage relationship conflict through structured exercises and conversations. Solution-Focused Therapy is goal-directed and practical, emphasizing small, achievable changes that build momentum.

Choosing the right method happens together. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences and then suggest which approaches to try first. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most, so clients have a voice in shaping the work.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as options are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow for quick check-ins between in-person visits. It also makes it possible to use worksheets, practice exercises, and somatic grounding techniques during or between sessions to support progress in everyday life.
