About Sarah
LMFT in California with seven years' experience, Sarah Ochsner focuses on helping individuals work through addictions, trauma, depression, anxiety, stress, parenting strains, anger, and family-related concerns. She uses Client-Centered Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process emotions and move toward practical goals. Sessions are described in the original biography as about 30 minutes and available in the evenings and weekends. Sessions require the client to be located in California during meetings.
Sarah writes that many people come with a sense of what they need but want guidance to get there. In practice she centers conversations on the client's priorities and relationships, asking about patterns and how they affect day-to-day life. She helps people name feelings, notice repeated behaviors, and try new ways of responding when problems come up.
Her background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Counseling/Psychology from William Jessup University and a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Western Seminary. She holds the LMFT credential, which indicates licensure to practice marriage and family therapy in California. She notes she cannot write documents that require a diagnosis.
Appointments are structured and time-efficient, reflecting her role as a parent with a busy schedule. Sessions are roughly 30 minutes long and offered in evenings and weekends per the original biography. Prospective clients should confirm session options and scheduling details before booking.
She values self-care and observes major holidays for family time. For membership or subscription questions the original biography refers users to the platform's Customer Success Team for more information.

How these approaches shape online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and goals. Sessions using this approach center on listening, reflecting what the person says, and supporting the client’s own problem solving. It is useful when someone wants practical help naming feelings and deciding next steps.Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and reducing the impact of traumatic experiences. It involves gentle pacing, attention to emotional triggers, and strategies to manage distress. This approach is commonly used for people dealing with past abuse or overwhelming events.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist collaborates with the client to identify which method or mix of methods fits the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as issues shift.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since the original biography does not list specific online formats. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into evenings or weekends and to keep meetings shorter when that helps a client. They can also allow someone to choose not to use video, have a quick phone check-in, or schedule sessions around family and work obligations. Ask about how sessions are scheduled and what the subscription covers before your first appointment.
