Sarah Knight, LMHC

Sarah Knight is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington with 11 years of experience supporting children, teens, adults, and families through a range of life challenges. She earned a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from Whitworth University in 2014 and brings clinical training and years of practice to each session.

Her work blends client-centered principles with cognitive behavioral tools and solution-focused strategies to help people set achievable goals, shift unhelpful thinking, and reduce distressing symptoms. Sarah emphasizes empathy and unconditional positive regard, meeting each person with genuine listening and respect while helping them identify what they most want and need to move forward.

Sarah prioritizes building a trusting therapeutic relationship and creates space where clients can explore complex issues such as grief, relationship and family problems, anxiety, depression, attachment concerns, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. She works collaboratively to develop practical coping skills, improve communication, and foster greater resilience so clients can pursue a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Sarah Knight uses client-centered therapy to place the client's perspective at the center of the work - this approach focuses on empathy, active listening, and supporting people to identify their own goals and solutions, which can help with self-esteem, life purpose, and relationship issues.

She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, panic, and mood concerns. CBT provides concrete strategies for reducing symptoms and improving daily functioning.

Solution-focused therapy is incorporated to keep sessions practical and goal-oriented, helping clients identify strengths and small, achievable steps toward meaningful change during times of transition or when coping with stress and grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Sarah will work with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences so therapy feels relevant and effective.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists without travel. These formats can accommodate different communication styles and life demands while maintaining a steady path toward progress.
