About Sarah

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with four years of practice experience, Sarah Stokes focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, anger, and self-esteem. She works directly with people who report panic attacks, communication problems, low motivation, and struggles with self-love. Sessions begin with practical conversation to identify what is most pressing and what a client wants to change.

Sarah uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques suited to each person’s goals. She adapts conversations and plans to each client rather than using a single method for everyone. Her approach is straightforward: she listens, clarifies patterns, and suggests steps people can try between sessions.

In early work she helps clients recognize common triggers for anxiety and anger. That often means breaking problems into smaller, manageable parts and practicing coping skills in everyday situations. She also supports people who want to improve how they talk and set boundaries with others.

For depressive symptoms and low motivation, Sarah helps people notice small shifts that lead to clearer routines and more predictable days. With panic and panic disorder she focuses on understanding physical signs and teaching practical ways to reduce their intensity.

Clients can expect a collaborative process that balances short-term strategies and steady skill-building. To begin, she asks straightforward questions about current struggles and what a successful first step would look like. From there she and the client choose approaches to try and track progress over time.

Using evidence-based methods in online sessions

Sarah works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and problem solving. One common approach she uses teaches specific coping skills for anxiety and panic - learning to recognize physical signs of panic and using paced breathing and grounding to reduce intensity. Another approach focuses on mood and motivation by identifying small, repeatable behaviors that increase activity and predictability in daily life. Finding the right method is part of the work. She collaborates with each client to pick approaches that match their goals and preferences, then adjusts as progress is observed. The client’s feedback guides which techniques are emphasized and how sessions are structured. The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit short check-ins into a busy day, avoid travel time, and try new skills between sessions without rearranging a full day. Therapists can use phone or video approaches when supported, and sessions can be scheduled to fit around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.
