01About Sarah
Sarah Close helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or difficult life changes. She greets each person with a calm, curious presence and focuses on building a steady relationship in sessions. Sarah is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, based in Oregon and she brings five years of clinical experience to her work.
Sarah uses a relational, trauma-informed stance that aims to notice what gets in the way of feeling steady.
Background and approach
She draws on ideas from the Neuro-Affective Relational Model and Internal Family Systems to help people understand patterns that show up in relationships and self-image. Sessions move at the client’s pace and emphasize noticing emotions, body signals, and recurring inner stories. Her practice addresses concerns such as trauma and abuse, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, depression, panic, and a range of mood-related issues.
She also supports people dealing with abandonment and attachment wounds, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and life transitions like divorce or midlife shifts. Sarah likes to help clients build skills for clearer communication, greater self-compassion, and steadier emotion regulation.
Work in therapy can include gentle exploration of past influences, practical coping strategies for panic or anxiety, and experiments to change unhelpful habits. She aims to center clients’ resilience and practical wisdom rather than only naming problems. People looking for flexible online options can meet with Sarah by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
The first step is completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling a session that fits the client’s timing.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care
Sarah uses a relational, trauma-informed approach that focuses on how connection and relationship patterns affect well-being. That approach helps people notice how past hurts show up in current relationships and in inner self-talk, and then try new ways of relating.She also draws on ideas from Internal Family Systems, which helps people identify and talk with different parts of themselves. This method is useful for reducing shame, easing inner conflict, and building self-compassion. Sarah integrates principles from the Neuro-Affective Relational Model to pay attention to body sensations and how nervous system responses shape emotional patterns. This can be helpful for panic, chronic stress, and trauma-related reactions.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Sarah works with each person to clarify goals, test methods gently, and adjust based on what feels helpful. She treats therapy as a collaboration that balances insight with practical tools.
Online therapy with Sarah is delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation for deeper exchange, phone sessions can fit when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging works for ongoing, flexible support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep continuity across life changes.
