About Sarah
Sarah Ross is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 27 years of clinical experience. She began practicing in 2003 and has worked in community mental health, drug court settings, marital counseling centers, and private practice. She has helped people manage depression, anxiety, relationship and family issues, grief and loss, and struggles with self-esteem. She emphasizes encouragement and a nonjudgmental stance for people who reach out for help.
Her background includes roles as a clinical supervisor, clinic director, and a certified thanatologist focusing on grief and loss. She has worked alongside substance use counselors and taught communication skills to couples in marital counseling centers. These varied settings shaped her practical, down-to-earth approach to therapy.
In session she is interactive and collaborative. She gently points out blind spots people may not notice and helps them find new insights. She sets realistic expectations and reminds people that meaningful change takes time and commitment from both the client and the therapist.
She uses a mix of methods tailored to each person. She leans toward cognitive behavioral approaches, psychodynamic ideas, and client-centered methods, and she also draws on mindfulness and the Gottman Method when appropriate. She adjusts her style to fit whether someone needs coaching, practical tools, or a more nurturing tone.
