About Sarah

Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Kentucky with nine years of experience, Sarah Lawson helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and ADHD. She works with teenagers and adults, using a straightforward, person-focused style that balances direct feedback with warmth. Sessions may be conversational and occasionally light-hearted. Sarah sometimes has her dog Nash visible during meetings with client consent.

Sarah aims to understand the whole person rather than only symptoms. She listens for patterns, increases self-awareness, and helps clients build concrete coping tools that fit daily life. Mindfulness and grounding exercises are commonly used alongside strengths-based practices to support regulation and emotional clarity.

Her approach mixes openness with honesty. She writes notes during sessions to remember details and to follow up on topics that matter. When she does not know an answer, she researches and brings findings back to the client.

Sarah has spent nine years working with teens and adults on issues such as mood disorders, impulsivity, guilt and shame, post-traumatic stress, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and men and women’s specific issues. She also addresses forgiveness, self-love, and dynamics related to narcissism.

Clients can expect practical tools and conversational work that aims to fit real life. Sessions are intended to be engaged and sometimes light, with room for hard topics and focused skill building. To start, users follow the site process to match and schedule an initial appointment.

How her approaches translate to remote sessions

Sarah uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on mindful awareness and grounding. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and help manage anxiety and depressive symptoms. Grounding exercises focus on sensory or breathing techniques to reduce distress during moments of overwhelm.

She also emphasizes strengths-based work, helping people notice practical resources and build coping tools that fit everyday life. That approach highlights what already works for a person and adds small, testable skills for mood, impulsivity, or stress management.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. Sarah will work with each person to evaluate which techniques fit their needs and preferences and will adjust strategies over time based on what helps most.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, working with a licensed professional remotely can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Ask about format details and any accommodations when you complete the matching questionnaire.
