About Sarah

Sarah Ritchea O'Connor is a licensed counselor with a decade of professional experience, holding credentials as an LPC and an LMHC - titles that indicate Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor respectively. She has practiced in roles including Licensed Professional Counselor Intern and Licensed Professional Counselor, and is licensed to work in multiple states. Sarah brings a respectful, nonjudgmental approach and strives to create an environment that welcomes people from all backgrounds and cultures.

Her clinical work includes supporting people facing stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, low motivation, challenges with self-esteem, and confidence building. She has substantial experience treating a range of eating disorders as well as working with clients diagnosed with major depressive disorder, some schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. Over the last year she has expanded her practice to include more focused work with members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Sarah emphasizes individualized care, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person’s specific needs and goals. She values sensitivity and compassion in therapeutic work and approaches change as a collaborative process. For those ready to seek greater fulfillment and well-being, she offers steady support for taking that first courageous step.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and feeling safe with others. It can help clients who struggle with trust, intimacy, or relationship patterns by exploring attachment styles and building more secure relational habits. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client as the expert on their own experience and emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaborative goal-setting; it is useful for people seeking a supportive space to explore values, identity, and life decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, making it effective for addressing anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Sarah works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques from different approaches to create a personalized plan rather than applying a single method.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit care into a busy life. These formats increase flexibility for scheduling, reduce travel time, and allow continuity of support when in-person visits are difficult. For many clients, working with a licensed professional through these remote options preserves momentum in treatment and makes consistent progress more achievable.
