About Sarah

Sarah Sifran-McClellan is an LPC with 14 years of clinical experience who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, ADHD, and other life transitions.

Background and approach

She creates an affirming, client-centered environment that emphasizes respect for each person’s background and goals, drawing on practical strategies to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Her work blends attachment-based perspectives with cognitive-behavioral tools and motivational techniques to address concerns such as addictions, family and adoption-related issues, self-esteem, and caregiver stress.

She also addresses complex relational topics including blended family dynamics, commitment and control issues, and family-of-origin patterns. Sarah integrates elements of dialectical behavior therapy when emotion regulation and coping skills are central to treatment.

Practicing in Oklahoma and licensed as an LPC, she uses a collaborative, strengths-focused style to tailor interventions to individual needs. Sessions emphasize skill-building, clearer communication, and realistic action steps so clients can make steady progress toward goals and manage life changes more effectively.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Sarah often integrates attachment-based therapy, which explores how early and current relationships shape feelings and expectations, helping people improve connection and trust in close relationships. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teach practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and daily challenges. Motivational interviewing is employed when change feels difficult, offering a respectful, strengths-focused way to build motivation for healthier choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She collaborates with clients to identify which methods best match their goals, preferences, and the practical issues they bring, and adjusts treatment as progress and needs evolve.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and use different communication styles to support skill practice and emotional regulation.
