About Sara

Sara Veldhuizen is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Indiana who supports people seeking deeper self-understanding and lasting change.

Background and approach

She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, ADHD, mood conditions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting challenges, and career or life transitions. With 11 years of clinical experience, she helps clients move beyond symptom management to explore the feelings, patterns, and interpersonal dynamics that shape daily life.

Her style is collaborative and insight-oriented, inviting thoughtful, reflective clients to examine why certain patterns repeat and how increased awareness can open the door to different choices. She integrates evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioral and mindfulness practices alongside motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Sara emphasizes active engagement in the therapeutic process and supports clients as they experiment with new approaches and build sustainable change. Sessions are offered via multiple online formats and accommodate clients who prefer flexible scheduling.

Her Indiana license is listed as IN LMHC 39002904A, and she accepts international clients for remote work when appropriate.

Approaches that guide remote care and growth

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience from their perspective and creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where individuals can explore thoughts and feelings; it helps when insight and self-understanding are central goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and introduces practical exercises to shift patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday challenges. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-focused awareness and acceptance skills to reduce reactivity and strengthen emotion regulation, often pairing well with other strategies for stress and trauma.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and how different methods might fit the client's needs, then adjust or blend techniques over time so the work stays responsive and practical.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different communication styles, and fit therapy into a busy life while working with licensed professionals who tailor interventions to the client’s priorities.
