About Sarah Close

She brings a calm, curious, and connected presence to her clinical work, believing that slowing down and staying related are central to healing. Drawing on a relational, trauma-informed orientation, she blends clinical training with a compassionate, client-centered stance to help people move from surviving toward greater resilience and self-understanding.

Her experience spans work with children, families, adults, and couples across schools, community counseling centers, group practices, and addiction treatment facilities. She is particularly passionate about supporting adults facing life transitions, addiction, relationship and family challenges, and the long-term effects of trauma. Her practice integrates approaches from the Neuro-Affective Relational Model (NARM) and Internal Family Systems Therapy to address attachment, identity, and relational patterns.

Others have described her therapeutic style as empathetic, intuitive, and geared toward building insight. She values the opportunity to accompany people on their journey toward feeling more at home with themselves. In addition to clinical work, she brings professional experience in teaching, writing, and business. She holds an LPC - a Licensed Professional Counselor - and she comes to the platform with the hope of supporting others in their healing work.

Could Virtual Therapy Be the Right Fit?

People often wonder whether virtual therapy can make a meaningful difference. For many common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life transitions - online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions for supporting progress and change.

One of the main benefits is flexibility. Individuals can choose the format that best fits their needs - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to integrate therapeutic work into busy lives and varied schedules.

Licensed professionals offer the same therapeutic approaches remotely as they do in person, and clients may change therapists if they are seeking a different fit. For those weighing options, virtual sessions can provide a practical and effective way to access professional support from therapists without the need to commute.
