About Sarah
Sarah Fagan is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor practicing in North Carolina. She brings about a decade of counseling experience and aims to make sessions feel warm, grounded, and down-to-earth. Sarah focuses on building a trusting working relationship and meeting people where they are.
She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and substance-related struggles. Sarah also supports those managing ADHD, autism spectrum concerns, chronic illness, caregiver strain, and the fallout from major life changes.
Background and approach
Parenting challenges, relationship and family conflict, communication problems, and issues around self-esteem are common topics in her work. Sarah uses a flexible, person-centered style that highlights individual strengths. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT, Attachment-Based Therapy, and the Gottman Method when relationship patterns are a focus.
She adapts methods to fit each person's needs rather than following a single protocol. Sessions may include practical skill practice, values-focused goal work, and attention to patterns that affect relationships and emotional life. Sarah also brings creativity into sessions and may use music, nature metaphors, or mindfulness exercises when helpful.
Her tone is direct but compassionate, and she encourages honest conversation. Clients start by describing what feels most urgent, then Sarah helps set clear, manageable goals. She values collaboration and will tailor the pace and tools to what works best for each person.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Sarah blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas with relationship-focused tools when working with communication and connection issues. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings remain, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early and current relationship patterns to understand how people react to closeness, trust, and conflict, useful for parenting stress and relationship struggles.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Sarah will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past, then recommend an approach or mix of methods. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as goals evolve.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is well suited for deeper conversations and joint skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill reminders, or between-session support. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work during life transitions.
