About Sarah
Sarah Martinez is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor practicing in Florida. She brings 12 years of experience and a straightforward, down-to-earth style to sessions. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and relationship difficulties.
She often uses eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, known as EMDR, alongside cognitive and behavioral strategies to address traumatic memories and troubling patterns. Sessions blend talk therapy with practical skills so people leave with tools they can use day to day.
Background and approach
She also draws on dialectical skills to help with emotional regulation when strong feelings get in the way. Her background includes work in inpatient settings, psychosocial rehabilitation, substance abuse programs, correctional facilities, and independent practice. That variety shapes a flexible approach that adapts to different life circumstances and concerns like addiction, grief, parenting strain, and career stress.
Sarah aims to make therapy feel collaborative and respectful. She listens for what matters to each person and builds a plan around their goals and pace. People can expect clear, concrete steps alongside room to process hard experiences.
She offers sessions in English and meets people through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. International clients may be supported. Her practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship so clients feel heard and understood; it helps when people need support sorting values, identity, or life choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete techniques to reduce anxiety, manage depression, or change unhelpful habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication when stress causes reactive or impulsive behaviors.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your goals and preferences, try techniques that fit your needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. This means sessions can include gentle processing, skills practice, or focused memory work depending on the issue.
Online therapy offers flexibility and several ways to connect. Video calls let people read facial cues and work more directly with EMDR-informed interventions or skill demonstrations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good shorter option for check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit brief coaching or reflection into a busy day. These options help people access consistent care while fitting therapy into real life.
