Sarah KnightLMHC

Sarah Knight is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who brings an empathic, person-centered approach to therapy. She aims to offer steady presence and practical support while people work through stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, grief, and changes around pregnancy and childbirth. Her tone is warm and straightforward, with a focus on listening first and working toward clear goals.

Sarah trained at Whitworth University and completed a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy in 2014. She has been practicing for 11 years and has spent that time helping people untangle unhelpful thought patterns and improve everyday coping. Her work includes attention to mood disorders, panic, trauma-related concerns, and compassion fatigue.

In sessions she blends client-centered principles with cognitive behavioral tools and solution-focused strategies. That means she starts by hearing what matters to the person in front of her, then helps identify small changes and practical steps to reach those goals. Mindfulness practices are used to manage stress and ground attention in the present moment.

Sarah also pays close attention to attachment and relationship patterns that shape how people connect and handle conflict. She helps clients notice repeating dynamics and try different ways of communicating and relating. This is useful for intimacy-related worries, family of origin concerns, and issues around forgiveness, shame, or isolation.

People work with her when they want clear, steady guidance and concrete strategies alongside empathic listening. Her aim is to help clients build skills they can use outside sessions and find more ease in daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Sarah blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-focused ideas. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and helping people name their goals, which helps create a respectful, collaborative starting point. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Attachment-informed work looks at patterns in relationships so people can try different ways of connecting and handling conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try techniques that match those needs. That collaborative process lets the plan shift as progress is made or new concerns appear.

Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a shorter meeting helps keep momentum. Some people prefer video for face-to-face conversation, while others choose audio for a simpler check-in or lower bandwidth needs. Licensed professionals can work with clients to choose session lengths and rhythms that fit daily life and make steady progress.
