About Sarah

Sarah Mossa is a licensed counselor with two decades of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, sleep problems, addiction concerns, ADHD, and life transitions. She brings a collaborative, team-oriented style to sessions, partnering with clients to clarify goals and develop practical steps toward change.

Background and approach

Her background includes work with people facing fertility and pregnancy-related challenges, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and issues around intimacy and communication. Sarah holds LPCC and LPC credentials and draws from several evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs.

She is experienced in addressing compassion fatigue, career and self-esteem concerns, blended family dynamics, and the emotional impacts of serious medical issues like cancer. Comfortable working with diverse sexual orientations and faith backgrounds, she aims to create a respectful space where clients can explore values, coping strategies, and concrete problem-solving skills.

Practicing from Illinois, Sarah offers multiple remote session formats and accepts international clients. Her practice emphasizes practical tools alongside deeper attachment and relational work, helping clients find manageable ways to improve sleep, reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, and strengthen important relationships.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Attachment-based work focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional reactions and connection, helping clients understand and improve how they relate to partners and loved ones. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, making it useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many daily challenges. Motivational Interviewing supports people who are feeling ambivalent about change by exploring values and building internal motivation for steps like reducing substance use or improving health behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist will collaborate with each client to select methods that match their goals, preferences, and pace. Sessions may combine elements from different approaches so care is tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging allows for flexible, accessible care that can fit around work, family, and health needs. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of support during life transitions and to practice skills between sessions while staying connected with licensed professionals and therapists who can adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
