Sarah Sabbides

Sarah Sabbides is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Massachusetts who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship struggles, and trauma. She talks with clients in a straightforward way and aims to build an open, nonjudgmental space. She acknowledges that starting therapy can feel hard and encourages people taking that first step.

With nine years of direct clinical experience, she offers individual work and has also supported people through family-related challenges. Her background includes supporting those dealing with postpartum issues such as PMDD and postpartum anxiety, as well as substance-related problems and eating or body image concerns. She also sees people coping with panic, social anxiety, and the aftermath of abuse.

Sarah blends practical strategies with a collaborative stance. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thinking patterns and habits that maintain anxiety or addictive behavior. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or uncertain about change. Narrative Therapy is used to look at how personal stories shape feelings and choices.

Sessions focus on clear goals and small, achievable steps. Conversations include learning new coping skills, setting boundaries, and planning changes that fit daily life. She aims to help clients make steady progress while respecting their pace.

If you are dealing with divorce or separation, pregnancy-related distress, or other life transitions, she can help you sort priorities and manage emotions. To begin, follow the site's Start Therapy process and complete the brief matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Therapeutic approaches that guide online work

Sarah commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, panic, and some patterns that feed addictive behavior. Motivational Interviewing is another tool she uses to support people who feel unsure about change; it focuses on building motivation and setting manageable steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they choose methods and adjust them over time so the plan fits the person’s needs.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm which options are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule around work, childcare, or medical appointments and can reduce travel time. Some formats may be shorter check-ins or audio-only sessions when video is difficult, helping therapy fit into a busy life. Licensed professionals can help tailor session length and focus so progress continues even when routines are tight.
