About Sarah
Sarah Lamie is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Illinois. She brings 18 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Sarah aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable and supported.
In sessions she builds a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can speak openly about what worries them. She focuses on practical strategies that fit each person's daily life.
Background and approach
Conversations often include looking at thinking patterns, trying small behavior changes, and practicing simple mindfulness skills. Her work also addresses challenges that come with aging and caregiving, chronic pain or illness, and life transitions. She supports people facing guilt, shame, isolation, or questions about life purpose.
She also has experience with traumatic brain injury and hospice or end-of-life issues. Sarah uses several approaches to match individual needs. Client-centered conversations keep the person's priorities front and center.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. Motivational interviewing and narrative therapy help when people want to change habits or make sense of their story. Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
The therapy subscription can be canceled at any time and cost varies by location and scheduling. To begin, pick the Start Therapy button, complete a brief matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability.

Online support
How Sarah’s Methods Translate to Online Care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's priorities. In an online setting this means conversations start with what matters most to the client and sessions adapt to their pace and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses simple exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Mindfulness therapy teaches brief attention and breathing practices that can reduce reactivity and support coping during hard moments.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Sarah will talk with each person about goals, try an approach, and adjust based on how well it fits. That way techniques are chosen to match needs and daily life rather than following a fixed plan.
Online therapy offers practical benefits: video calls allow face-to-face work when that matters, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a short break, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or health appointments while still using the therapist's methods.
