About Sarah

Sarah Bodden-Cheffen is an LPC who blends client-centered care with evidence-based techniques to help people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and ADHD-related challenges. Drawing on nine years of professional experience in Louisiana, she emphasizes each person's strengths and collaborates to set practical goals.

Background and approach

Her work also addresses grief, trauma and abuse, mood disorders, and issues such as impulsivity, hoarding, and codependency. Her approach weaves cognitive behavioral strategies and emotionally-focused interventions with mindfulness and acceptance-oriented practices to support coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and persistent patterns like guilt, shame, or isolation.

She has experience assisting LGBTQ+ clients with self-esteem and relational difficulties, and she takes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance that centers the client’s perspective. Prospective clients are invited to take the initial step by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling sessions according to availability.

Integrating Approach and Access: Therapy Online with Thoughtful Methods

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and build psychological flexibility by learning to notice difficult thoughts without getting entangled in them; it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them against real-world evidence, offering concrete strategies for mood disorders, anxiety, and impulsivity. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client’s own goals and lived experience, creating a respectful, collaborative space where self-understanding and strengths guide the therapeutic plan.

Choosing the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic journey rather than a one-time decision. The therapist collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, adjusting techniques as goals evolve and new challenges emerge. This collaborative process helps ensure interventions align with personal preferences and practical life demands.

Online therapy offers flexible access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules and varied routines. These formats support ongoing work with therapeutic tools and exercises between sessions, while allowing licensed professionals to provide consistent care regardless of geographic constraints within the region they serve.
