“I believe therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all—just like a size 9 shoe won’t fit everyone.”

About Sara

Sara Darling, LICSW, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Louisiana who combines warmth, honesty, and clinical skill to support people navigating difficult life experiences. With 8 years of clinical experience, she works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship challenges, addictions, sleep difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, and major life transitions. She also focuses on issues related to adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver stress, communication and control problems, divorce and separation, end-of-life and hospice counseling, and isolation or loneliness.

Sara uses an eclectic, evidence-informed approach tailored to each person's needs. Her methods include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), TEAM-CBT, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), client-centered techniques, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. These tools aim to help people clarify their values, loosen the hold of painful thoughts and emotions, and take actionable steps toward a life that reflects what matters to them.

At the center of her practice are empathy and a nonjudgmental stance. She prioritizes building a genuine therapeutic connection and meeting people with compassion while offering honest and practical support. Sara invites those who are ready to explore change to begin a collaborative process of healing and growth.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Good Fit for You?

Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions for most people.

One major benefit is flexibility - individuals can connect with a therapist in the format that best fits their routine and comfort level, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to maintain regular care while juggling work, family, or other obligations.

Therapists who provide remote services are licensed professionals, and people can change therapists if they want a different fit. For those weighing options, online therapy offers practical access to trained clinicians and a variety of ways to engage in meaningful therapeutic work.
