Sara Gatlin

Sara Gatlin is a Tennessee Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with seven years of clinical work. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, motivation struggles, career doubts, and life changes. She lists life purpose among the topics she addresses. Sara works in English and practices in Tennessee.

Her approach is straightforward and conversational. Sessions focus on identifying what feels stuck, setting small goals, and trying practical steps between meetings. She adapts conversations and plans based on how each person responds rather than following a fixed script.

Sara pays attention to how relationships and self-image affect daily choices. She helps people who struggle with attachment issues, body image, communication problems, guilt and shame, and impulsivity. She also supports those facing isolation or social anxiety and people navigating workplace strain or young adult transitions.

In session she encourages clear, concrete next steps. That can look like rehearsing a difficult conversation, breaking a goal into tiny tasks, or naming the thoughts that get in the way. Work is paced to be doable alongside life obligations.

To begin, a person chooses the See online therapy options button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules a first session. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions

Evidence-based techniques often used in counseling include cognitive strategies that look at unhelpful thinking patterns and behavioral strategies that build small, manageable habits. Cognitive-style work focuses on identifying thoughts that fuel worry or low self-worth and testing those thoughts with real-world experiments. Behavioral methods break goals into tiny, repeatable actions to increase confidence and reduce avoidance.

Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means checking what helps early on and adjusting plans if something isn’t working well.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life - for example by avoiding travel time, allowing brief check-ins during a lunch break, or offering a session without video when someone prefers a lower-bandwidth option. Licensed professionals can use these formats to focus on practical steps and skills that carry over into daily routines.
