About Sarah
Sarah Bodden-Cheffen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana who brings nine years of clinical experience to her practice. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, and issues around relationships and intimacy. She also supports people facing ADHD-related challenges and mood concerns.
Her approach is warm and practical, aimed at helping people take useful steps forward. Sarah centers sessions on what each person needs right now.
Background and approach
She uses client-centered listening to understand personal strengths and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is paired with emotional approaches to help shift unhelpful thoughts and repair relationship patterns. Her work often helps people manage guilt, shame, and low self-esteem while improving connection and communication.
She has also supported those coping with grief, trauma and abuse, and major life changes. Sarah pays attention to how behaviors and feelings affect day-to-day functioning and to small changes that create momentum. Sessions can include mindfulness practices to calm overwhelm and tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and next steps.
She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when relationship patterns are central to someone’s concerns. The goal is practical, manageable change rather than long lists of tasks. Sarah speaks English and works with adults in Louisiana.
She encourages people to take the first step toward support and gently guides them through setting goals and trying approaches that fit their life.
Approach-driven care delivered online
Sarah commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking committed steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It can help with life changes, low motivation, and lingering avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions by teaching practical skills to challenge patterns that maintain anxiety, depression, or impulsive behaviors.Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will talk with each person about their goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan together based on what works. That process helps tailor sessions so they match individual needs and preferences rather than forcing a single method.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible options. Video calls work well for deeper sessions that benefit from face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can fit into a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins, skill reminders, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between visits.
