About Sarah

Sarah Bachmaier is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida with nine years of experience. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She emphasizes the client's own strengths and steps forward rather than labeling people by their difficulties.

She uses approaches that aim to reduce distress and help people move toward clearer goals. Sessions are conversational and goal oriented. Sarah listens for what feels most urgent and helps set small, manageable tasks to try between sessions.

Background and approach

Many people come to her with painful past experiences, relationship strain, or overwhelming feelings. She helps them process those memories and build coping skills for daily life. That can include working on communication, managing shame or guilt, and addressing isolation or emptiness.

Sarah also supports people facing long-term challenges such as chronic illness, caregiver stress, or struggles with substance use. Motivational Interviewing is used to explore readiness for change and strengthen commitment to chosen goals. For trauma-related distress she integrates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, focusing on reducing the intensity of traumatic memories while tracking each person’s pace.

The overall approach is collaborative and steady, aimed at helping people regain a sense of control over their lives.

Online support

How EMDR and Motivational Interviewing work online

Sarah uses two main approaches that can be adapted to remote work. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, helps reduce the intensity of distressing memories by guiding attention while processing painful events. It can ease the emotional charge around trauma and make daily life feel less overwhelming.

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people clarify their goals and strengthen their motivation to change. It is useful for decisions around substance use, health behaviors, or any area where someone feels stuck and wants to move forward.

Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through options, consider the client’s goals and pacing, and try methods that feel right. Adjustments are made as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant and manageable.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues when that helps, while phone calls work well when bandwidth or a quieter voice-only check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow short check-ins, homework review, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue care from different locations.
