About Sarah

Sarah Tedrick is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and relationship or parenting concerns. She supports those coping with trauma, depression, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and big life changes. Sarah writes plainly and meets people where they are without judgment.

She draws on seven years of professional counseling experience and long personal recovery to shape her work. Sarah emphasizes building a dependable relationship first. That relationship becomes the place to try new ways of thinking and behaving and to practice calmer responses to daily stress.

Her style is collaborative and warm. Sessions focus on what matters to the person sitting in front of her. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches, attachment-based ideas, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to address habits, thoughts, and emotions. Conversations are practical and goal oriented, with time for noticing patterns and trying new strategies.

Sarah has worked with adolescents, young adults, and adults, and brings lived experience of parenting into her perspective. She is based in Oregon and works with English-speaking clients. She asks people to take the first step and complete the intake steps to begin scheduling work together.

Many clients come to address substance use, family or attachment struggles, control and codependency issues, or feelings of emptiness. Sarah aims to help people make steady changes they can use in everyday life.

Step 3

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on relationships and how early patterns affect current connections. Online or remote sessions can help identify how someone relates to others and practice new ways of connecting in day-to-day life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Online sessions can include simple exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments that are easy to try between meetings.

Mindfulness practices teach noticing the present moment without judgment and can reduce stress and emotional reactivity. Guided mindfulness exercises can be led during a session and practiced at home to build steady habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust plans as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it easier to try skills between meetings. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling and for the type of support being sought.
