About Sarah

Sarah Behrens is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Texas with five years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She draws on experience gained in a range of settings including juvenile detention and psychiatric and substance abuse facilities to support people working through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma, parenting challenges, and ADHD. Her background informs a practical, solution-minded stance that emphasizes collaborative problem solving and skills people can use in everyday life.

Behrens offers therapeutic support for a wide set of concerns such as self-esteem, addictions, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and life transitions, along with additional focuses like autism and Asperger syndrome, sexual assault recovery, sexual dysfunction, and issues related to kink and alternative sexual cultures.

She frames therapy as a place to explore patterns, develop coping strategies, and build healthier communication. In sessions she aims to help clients identify goals, experiment with new approaches, and move toward sustainable change that fits each person’s circumstances.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy



Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques emphasize practical skills and collaborative goal setting. One approach focuses on building coping skills and symptom management through structured exercises and behavioral strategies that help with anxiety, ADHD-related challenges, and mood regulation. Another approach centers on improving communication and relational patterns by identifying interaction styles, practicing new responses, and strengthening problem-solving in relationships and family situations. Both approaches prioritize concrete tools clients can practice between sessions to support gradual change.

Finding the right therapeutic method is part of the process, and the therapist will work together with each client to determine which strategies fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process includes reviewing what has or hasn’t worked before and adjusting techniques over time so the treatment aligns with the person’s life and priorities.

Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and for choosing the mode of communication that feels most comfortable. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy routines, and access a licensed professional from different locations within Texas.
