About Sarah
Sarah Ritchea O'Connor is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, with ten years of experience. She helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, and related concerns. She aims to listen without judgment and to create a calm space for people to talk about what feels hard right now.
Her approach is practical and person-focused. She tailors conversations and plans to each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Sessions often include goal-setting, skills for managing strong feelings, and steps to improve daily routines like sleep and eating.
Sarah draws from several therapy styles to fit the situation. She uses client-centered methods to keep the conversation grounded in the person's own goals. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape emotions.
She has worked with people affected by grief, addiction, intimacy and relationship struggles, parenting stress, body image concerns, caregiver strain, first responder issues, and veteran and armed forces issues. She has experience supporting people who identify as LGBT and those dealing with gender dysphoria.
Sarah is licensed in Texas and brings a straightforward, compassionate manner to sessions. Starting therapy is framed as a step-by-step process, and she guides people through small, manageable changes.
