Sarah Mossa

Sarah Mossa is an Ohio LPCC and an Arizona LPC with more than 20 years of clinical experience based in Illinois. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, sleep problems, relationship and intimacy concerns, substance use, depression, and career uncertainty. Sarah also supports people facing parenting questions, coping with life changes, ADHD, and issues related to sexuality and LGBT identity.

Sarah uses a collaborative, straightforward style in sessions. She and a client set goals together and work toward concrete steps. Sessions involve talking through what matters now, identifying patterns that keep problems going, and trying small changes to see what helps.

Her background includes long work with first responders, military and veterans, and people from diverse faith traditions. That experience shaped practical ways to manage stress and to rebuild daily routines after disruption. She also has experience addressing caregiver strain, chronic illness and pain, and fertility and pregnancy-related concerns.

Sarah draws on approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. Those methods are used to address relationship dynamics, motivation for change, anxious thinking, and short-term problem-solving.

People meet her for telephone or video counseling, and she helps them translate insights from sessions into changes in daily life. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Attachment-based work focuses on how past and current close relationships shape expectations and responses. In online sessions this approach can help with relationship patterns, intimacy concerns, and how people react under stress.

Client-centered methods prioritize the client's perspective and pace. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients decide which issues to tackle first. This approach suits people unsure where to begin or who need space to clarify priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Online CBT sessions often involve identifying thinking patterns, testing new behaviors between sessions, and tracking small changes to reduce anxiety or improve sleep.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts strategies based on what helps and what doesn’t, so therapy is a process of trial, feedback, and revision.

The profile notes telephone and video counseling as prior formats used. Confirm the current session options before booking if you need a particular setup. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so people can use a break between responsibilities to attend.
