Sarah Tremblay, LMHC

Sarah Tremblay is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Washington with 18 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, mood concerns, and the day-to-day strain of caring for others. Her approach is practical and person-focused, aimed at helping clients find clearer ways to cope and move forward.

Sarah draws on client-centered work to build trust and understand each person’s story. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try small experiments that can change feelings and behavior. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps.

Her experience includes supporting people who are caregivers, living with chronic illness or disability, facing aging or dementia-related challenges, and those on the autism spectrum. She also helps people dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, career shifts, and the emotional fallout from loss or major life change.

Sarah describes herself as an advocate for fair access to care and aims to give people a voice in their treatment. Sessions tend to focus on practical skills, clearer communication, and realistic steps clients can use between meetings. She also brings lived experience as a parent of a child with special needs into her work when it is relevant.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the client. The therapist creates space for people to tell their story and guides conversations toward goals the person chooses.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions together. It uses simple experiments and skill practice to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and change patterns that cause stress.

Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to build motivation and small plans people feel ready to try.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will collaborate with each person to figure out the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying one method first, mixing approaches, or adjusting as progress is made.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist during the matching process about what session rhythm and format will fit daily routines and care responsibilities.
