About Sarah
Sarah Saragusa is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arkansas with 13 years of experience. She focuses on concerns many parents notice first - stress, anxiety, sleep trouble, grief, low self-esteem, and parenting strain. Her approach is calm and straightforward, aimed at helping people find practical ways to cope.
Sarah keeps conversations focused and clear. She listens for what matters most to each person and builds a plan that fits daily life.
Background and approach
Sessions include skill-building for managing mood, improving communication, and tackling overwhelming feelings. She uses methods drawn from attachment work and cognitive behavioral strategies, along with solution-focused and trauma-informed tools. Those methods show up as simple exercises, talking through patterns, and setting small achievable goals.
The goal is to make change feel doable rather than overwhelming. Sarah often helps people dealing with addiction, relationship issues, compassion fatigue, and major life changes. She also supports those dealing with intimacy concerns, career stress, and mood disorders such as bipolar disorder.
Her work includes helping people process abandonment, attachment wounds, and blended family adjustments. Her style is respectful and direct. She tailors sessions to individual needs and encourages practical steps between meetings.
Starting therapy can feel hard, and she aims to make the first steps easier and more manageable.

Approaches that translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current relationships and emotions; online sessions use conversation and reflections to identify attachment patterns and try new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and homework that clients can use between sessions to reduce anxiety or low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on strengths and small, achievable goals to create quick momentum and build confidence.Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and needs and recommend a mix of methods. That plan can shift over time as progress is made and preferences become clearer, so clients help shape the path forward.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people keep visual connection and work through emotional material. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging make it simple to journal progress, get quick support, or follow up between appointments. These options help people fit therapy into busy family routines and across different schedules.
