Sarah Peters, LCPC

Sarah Peters invites people to treat personal growth like a regular practice - similar to a gym membership or working with a personal trainer - by carving out time for self-care and development. As a clinician who combines talk-based therapy with creative methods, she supports clients in building new coping skills, pursuing specific goals, and making sustainable changes in daily life.

She is an Art Therapist and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) - a state-licensed mental health counselor - with 11 years of experience working with individuals, groups, and direct care staff. Sarah meets with clients who prefer traditional conversational therapy as well as those who find painting, drawing, or reflective writing helpful for exploring emotions and goals.

Grounded in a strength-based perspective, her work draws on interventions informed by Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people regulate emotions and build confidence in their mental wellness. Her role is to listen, offer practical tools, and collaborate with each person to make positive, attainable changes in their life.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, focuses on teaching concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing distress. It is especially useful for people who want reliable tools for emotion regulation and relationship challenges.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and then develop practical strategies to change those patterns. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and worries that interfere with daily life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to clarify their values and take meaningful action while learning to hold difficult feelings with less struggle. It can support clients coping with life changes, grief, or low motivation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sarah works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adapting techniques over time to find the best match.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules, accommodate mobility or caregiving demands, and maintain continuity during times of transition. These options allow clients to engage in consistent work toward their goals from locations that suit their daily lives.
