About Sarah

Sarah Reik is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Wisconsin with 23 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, self-esteem questions, and career-related issues. She integrates a Biblically-based perspective with evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support people who want to address patterns that began in their family of origin.

She combines practical conversation and reflective exercises in sessions. That can include looking at how roles and expectations from childhood affect current relationships and decision making. She also supports people dealing with grief, end-of-life concerns, and fatherhood issues as they relate to life changes and personal values.

Her approach brings together faith-informed reflections and counseling methods proven in clinical work. Sessions tend to focus on identifying recurring patterns, developing clearer communication, and building day-to-day coping skills. She describes her work as pointing clients to spiritual resources alongside clinical techniques when that fits the person’s goals.

Sarah has worked across many stages of adult life, including midlife and aging issues. She addresses feelings such as emptiness, guilt, shame, jealousy, and isolation with practical strategies and conversational care. She helps people consider forgiveness, commitment, and life purpose questions within their personal and spiritual framework.

Clients who prefer to start with a few focused conversations find that she structures meetings with clear topics and next steps. People who want to mix spiritual reflection with methods drawn from evidence-based practice may find her style familiar and straightforward.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Sarah combines a Biblically-based counseling perspective with evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Biblically-based counseling involves discussing a client’s faith and values as part of making sense of struggles. It can help people who want spiritual reflection woven into practical work on relationships or meaning. Evidence-based therapeutic techniques refer to methods supported by clinical research, used to identify thinking or behavior patterns and to practice new responses for stress, anxiety, and relationship issues.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has and hasn’t worked before. Together the client and therapist decide which methods to prioritize and adapt as therapy proceeds.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Ask about the available session formats when you sign up. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel and can reduce time spent on commuting. Some people prefer shorter check-ins by phone when bandwidth or sightlines are limited, while others like longer video meetings for in-depth conversation. She will work with clients to pick a session pattern that fits day-to-day life and keeps regular progress moving forward.
