01About Sara

Sara Elliott is a Maine-based counselor who holds the LCPC credential and has four years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, and issues with self-esteem. Sara writes in plain terms and aims to meet people where they are.

She has worked with people who have lived through trauma and abuse and brings a trauma-informed view to sessions. That means she pays attention to how past hurts affect current feelings and behavior.

Background and approach

She helps people name what they are feeling and understands how shame and guilt can get in the way of healing. In sessions she uses a mix of validation, gentle challenge, and practical reflection. She helps clients spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of thinking.

The work often includes noticing core beliefs, trying out different responses, and building inner self-acceptance. Sara aims for a respectful and compassionate space where people can be honest about struggles. She recognizes counseling takes courage and is focused on steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes.

Her style is direct but warm, with attention to each person’s pace. People who reach out can expect clear, goal-oriented conversations about what’s causing distress now and what steps feel doable next. Sara encourages small, meaningful changes that support improved mood, better self-regard, and more ease handling life’s stressors.

Evidence-informed approaches for online care

Many clients benefit from approaches that help change how they think and respond to stress. Cognitive-style approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new, more balanced beliefs; they are useful for anxiety, low mood, and self-critical thinking. Trauma-informed methods attend to how past harms shape current reactions and emotions and help rebuild safety, grounding, and self-compassion after abuse or difficult experiences.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, symptoms, and preferences to decide which techniques fit best. That plan can shift over time as needs change and progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to get support. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation from wherever they are. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter, walk-and-talk style check-in feels right. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, ongoing reflections, or when typing helps someone organize thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and varied routines.
