About Sarah

LCSW Sarah Bachmaier is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker with nine years of practice. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, and depression. Sarah uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Motivational Interviewing as part of her work. She speaks English and practices in Florida.

Sarah believes clients know their own stories and brings methods that help people process hard experiences. In sessions she listens for what the person already does well, then builds on those strengths to address current problems. Her approach includes trauma-focused work and techniques that support motivation and coping.

She has helped people dealing with abandonment, body image concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and codependency. She also assists with communication problems, control issues, domestic violence impacts, and substance-related concerns. Grief, guilt, shame, infidelity, isolation, and questions about life purpose and midlife change are part of her caseload.

Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. Sarah uses EMDR to process traumatic memories and Motivational Interviewing to help people move toward change. She aims to make steps manageable, with clear options to try between visits.

People choosing therapy with her complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. For current session formats confirm options before booking.

How EMDR and Motivational Interviewing work in online care

EMDR helps people revisit and reprocess distressing memories in a paced way. It uses targeted attention and guided processing to reduce the intensity of traumatic material and related symptoms. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative conversational style that helps clarify goals and strengthen a person's own reasons for change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and will suggest methods that match those priorities. This is a collaborative decision and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people use lower-bandwidth options if video is difficult and make scheduling across different daily routines simpler. Working this way aims to keep therapy practical and focused on achievable steps.
