Sarah Stevens

Sarah Stevens is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor practicing in North Carolina with 12 years of clinical experience. She began her journey toward counseling after personal experience with therapy in the 1990s and, following about ten years of exploring career options, chose to pursue counseling so she could offer others the kind of relief and understanding her own therapist provided.

She has been a practicing psychotherapist since 2012 and works primarily with adult individuals and occasionally with couples. Sarah addresses a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, relationship and family conflicts, parenting issues, LGBT-related matters, self-esteem, career difficulties, and coping with life changes.

Her approach combines Client-Focused Therapy with evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), solution-focused brief therapy, grief therapy, and couples therapy. Sarah adapts these techniques to fit each person’s unique needs and circumstances.

Sarah believes that everyone can gain from speaking with an objective listener. She is mindful that some people have not been able to share their concerns or joys with friends and family without feeling criticized, laughed at, or invalidated. In her work she aims to be a non-judgmental ear and to guide clients toward discovering their own strengths and abilities to improve difficult life situations.

She holds full state licensure as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina, a credential that reflects advanced clinical training and authorization to practice (NC LCMHC 9081). Sarah looks forward to working together with individuals seeking support and change.
