About Sarah

Sarah Lamie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Illinois with 18 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress and anxiety, process grief and loss, build motivation, and strengthen self-esteem and confidence, as well as address symptoms of depression. Sarah draws on evidence-informed methods to support clients through a range of life transitions and emotional challenges while honoring each person s individual pace and goals.

She cultivates an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly and safely. By partnering with clients, she helps them identify practical coping strategies, clarify values and priorities, and take actionable steps toward a more fulfilling life. Reaching out for help requires courage, and Sarah aims to provide steady support and encouragement throughout the therapeutic journey.

As an LCSW - a licensed mental health professional trained in clinical social work - she brings a broad understanding of behavioral health and community resources to her practice. Her work includes attention to issues across the lifespan such as caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, aging and geriatric concerns, end-of-life and hospice counseling, and challenges common to young adults and women. Sarah s approach centers on collaboration, empathy, and practical problem solving to help clients move forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Sarah Lamie uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where the client s priorities guide each session - this approach is helpful for building trust, increasing self-awareness, and addressing issues like low self-esteem or life transitions. She also employs cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to improve coping skills. In addition, mindfulness therapy is used to teach moment-to-moment awareness and stress management techniques that can be useful for anxiety, chronic stress, and coping with persistent medical conditions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sarah works with clients to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting techniques over time so the plan fits the individual rather than forcing a single method. This teamwork helps shape focused, practical steps toward change.

Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule appointments around work, caregiving, or mobility limits and allow ongoing therapeutic work from home or other convenient locations. Licensed professionals, including therapists like Sarah, can adapt these formats to provide meaningful support and consistent progress.
