Sarah Mikael, PACFA

Sarah Mikael is a therapist licensed in Canada and Australia with ten years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients build confidence, address motivation challenges, and navigate relational concerns, tailoring each conversation to the specific needs of the person she is working with.

Sarah approaches her work with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she emphasizes collaborative planning so that each treatment plan reflects the client’s goals and circumstances. She is a member of PACFA - the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia - a national professional association that reflects her commitment to recognized practice standards. Taking the first step toward therapy can take courage, and Sarah acknowledges and supports that decision at the outset of care.

Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options

Sarah uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical skill building to reduce symptoms of stress and anxiety and to strengthen coping tools for day-to-day challenges. These skills-focused strategies help people learn concrete ways to manage overwhelming feelings, improve problem solving, and boost self-esteem.

She also employs approaches that support emotional processing and healing from trauma and abuse, helping clients make sense of difficult memories and their effects on relationships and behavior. These methods aim to create space for new perspectives and healthier ways of relating to oneself and others.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Sarah works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they evaluate progress and adjust the plan as needed to ensure it remains helpful.

Online therapy with Sarah is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. These options increase flexibility around scheduling, reduce travel time, and make consistent care more accessible for people in different situations.
