About Sarah
Sarah Knight is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington with 11 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, and family-related problems including family of origin issues and attachment concerns.
Sarah emphasizes straightforward, person-centered work. She aims to help people recognize patterns learned in childhood that still affect their choices now. Sessions focus on practical steps to reduce symptoms and improve everyday functioning rather than labels or rapid fixes.
Her background includes a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from Whitworth University and over a decade of clinical practice. She blends approaches that help people name painful patterns, shift unhelpful thinking, and build new ways of relating to themselves and others.
In sessions she uses techniques from attachment-based approaches, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and solution-focused work. That mix is used to address issues such as grief, burnout and compassion fatigue, parenting strain, and midlife questions about purpose and direction.
Sarah typically helps clients set clear goals and practice small, achievable changes between sessions. She also supports work on communication problems, forgiveness, and handling separation or divorce practicalities. People who are curious about how their family history shapes current relationships often find this focus useful.
How attachment work and CBT translate to online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at patterns learned in early relationships and how they show up now. Online sessions can use questions and exercises to notice those patterns, practice new ways of relating, and reflect on family of origin issues that keep repeating.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. In remote sessions clients can learn thought-record techniques, practice behavior changes between meetings, and review progress together.
Mindfulness approaches teach short practices to steady attention and reduce reactivity. These are easy to try during a session and to practice later in daily routines like short breathing or grounding exercises.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels workable, then try methods and adjust as needed. That shared decision-making helps match methods to the client’s situation.
Confirm the current session formats before booking. When planning online work, practical benefits include fitting sessions around work or parenting, shorter check-in meetings when needed, and options that avoid travel time. These options can make it easier to keep regular appointments and practice changes between meetings.
