Sarah Fagan, LCMHC

Sarah Fagan is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina with about ten years of counseling experience. She aims to be warm, approachable, and nonjudgmental so people feel comfortable bringing real concerns to sessions. Sarah often helps with relationship stress, parenting strain, grief, trauma, anxiety, mood shifts, and struggles like ADHD or chronic health challenges.

She keeps a relaxed and respectful tone in sessions and adapts to each person’s needs. That means she listens first, then shapes practical steps that fit the client’s life. She often uses plain-talk skills from cognitive approaches and attachment-focused ideas to address patterns, boundaries, and communication problems.

Sarah mixes methods rather than following a single model. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build flexible coping. She uses Client-Centered ideas to keep sessions focused on the person’s experience. Other approaches she may weave in include attachment-based work, existential questions, and EMDR when appropriate.

In practice she may bring creativity into sessions - music, nature, or simple experiential tasks - when that helps someone connect with change. Her style emphasizes strengths and real-world steps that people can try between meetings. She encourages clients to name small, achievable goals and track progress in everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and using small committed actions to move toward those values. It can help with anxiety, life transitions, and patterns that keep someone stuck. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s own experience and pacing, offering a respectful space where clients lead the topics and the therapist follows. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns from early life and current bonds to understand trust, boundaries, and closeness in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying an idea for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which online formats are offered. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy days because they cut transit time and let you schedule around work or caregiving. Others appreciate having options that reduce visual demands or let check-ins be shorter when life is hectic. Licensed professionals can use these flexible formats to keep therapy practical and focused on goals without changing the core therapeutic work.
