Sarah Serfilippi, LPC

Sarah Serfilippi is a Licensed Professional Counselor with four years of clinical experience, licensed to practice in both Arizona and Pennsylvania. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, and depression, helping them navigate life transitions and build greater emotional resilience.

Sarah approaches therapy from a perspective that honors each person as the expert of their own story. She emphasizes clients' existing strengths as a foundation for growth and change, and she offers support that is both empowering and collaborative. Her practice focuses on helping people explore attachment and abandonment concerns, improve communication, address codependency and commitment issues, and manage challenges related to chronic pain, illness, or caregiving stress.

As an LPC - a Licensed Professional Counselor trained to assess, diagnose, and treat emotional and behavioral concerns - she guides clients through practical strategies and reflective work tailored to their goals. Sarah encourages courage in taking the first steps toward a more fulfilling life and partners with clients to create meaningful, sustainable change.

Approaches Used in Online Therapy

Sarah integrates client-centered therapy, which places the client at the center of the work and focuses on empathy, active listening, and building on a person’s strengths to address issues like relationship difficulties and self-esteem concerns. She also uses mindfulness therapy, which teaches practices for staying present and managing stress and anxiety through attention and breath-based techniques. Narrative therapy is another approach Sarah draws on, helping clients reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships to foster new perspectives and choices.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Sarah works with clients to explore which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting direction over time as growth and insight emerge.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to access care from home or other convenient locations. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
