About Sarah
Sarah Knee is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also supports people coping with low self-esteem, depression, and challenges around motivation and confidence.
Background and approach
Sarah writes plainly and works with clients to find practical ways forward. Sarah approaches therapy as a collaborative process.
She listens for the strengths a person already has and builds on them. Sessions focus on clear steps you can try between meetings, not only talk.
That can make changes feel more doable over time. Her background includes five years of professional experience working in California.
During that time she has supported people dealing with control issues, divorce and separation, post-traumatic stress, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, social anxiety and phobia, and women's issues. She brings that practical experience into conversations about current worries.
Sarah aims to create a calm, straightforward space where someone can talk through what feels hard. She helps people set realistic goals, test small changes, and track what improves.
The pace and focus are shaped by each person's needs. Therapy with Sarah typically involves checking in about symptoms, identifying patterns that keep problems going, and practicing new ways of coping.
She encourages clients to notice progress, even when it is small. Her goal is to help people feel more able to manage day-to-day life.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Sarah uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is skills-based work that helps people notice unhelpful patterns and practice new responses; this can help with anxiety, panic, and social fears. Another approach emphasizes trauma-informed care, which focuses on pacing, safety, and rebuilding a sense of control after distressing experiences.Choosing the right method is part of the work. Sarah will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and what feels helpful, then try approaches that match those needs. That collaborative process means strategies can be adjusted as progress is tracked.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for more in-depth conversations, phone calls can fit a quick check-in or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging lets someone check in between appointments or have shorter exchanges during a busy day. These options make it easier to schedule regular sessions and keep momentum between meetings.
