    About Sara

    Sara Klahr, LPC, supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and life transitions. She helps with anger, self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar management, trauma and abuse, and issues such as abandonment, attachment, codependency, and communication problems. She also offers coaching-style work for life purpose and coping skills.

    Sara brings 30 years of counseling experience to each session. Her style is genuine, direct, and non-judgmental. She centers the conversation on the person in front of her and listens closely to what matters most. Sessions focus on identifying root causes and building practical coping strategies that fit everyday life.

    She uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness practices. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused techniques are also part of her approach when helpful. The overall aim is to help people notice small changes that lead to better functioning and greater emotional balance.

    Sara began offering teletherapy more recently and found it works well for many clients. She adapts her approach to match individual goals, whether someone needs brief coaching or longer-term therapeutic work. People who choose her can expect straightforward feedback, active problem solving, and support for making steady progress.

    Her practice is located in South Carolina and she speaks English. People interested in beginning work are invited to use the site’s Start Therapy process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions.

  2. How Sara’s approaches fit with online therapy

    Sara uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find internal reasons for change and to build motivation for new behaviors. That approach is useful for goals like changing habits, increasing follow-through, or navigating life transitions.

    She also practices Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions are guided by the person’s concerns and pace. That style creates space for people to lead the conversation and set priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another tool she uses to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try practical behavior changes that reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sara treats approach selection as a conversation. She will collaborate with each person to decide whether a more motivational, client-led, or skills-based path fits their needs and goals.

    If you are considering online work, confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into their week, require less travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist during the matching process about session length, frequency, and whether a coaching-style or longer-term plan best supports your goals.
