About Sarah

Sarah Tedrick is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oregon with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults and young people on concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, relationship and family issues, parenting, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Sarah also focuses on attachment issues, abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, blended family challenges, and codependency.

She blends practical talk with attention to relationship patterns that come from the family someone grew up in. Sessions look at how roles, expectations, and closeness in early family life still show up now. Sarah uses methods such as attachment-based approaches, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to help people clarify goals and try new ways of responding.

She draws on years of personal recovery and long experience supporting people affected by drug and alcohol addiction. That background informs how she talks about substance use and relapse without judgement. Sarah also brings experience with mood disorders including bipolar presentations and disruptive mood dysregulation concerns.

In sessions she pays attention to communication problems, control issues, commitment fears, and the practical impacts of parenting or separation. Work may include identifying unhelpful thought patterns, practicing emotion regulation skills, and improving everyday interactions with family members.

People who choose to work with Sarah complete an initial matching process and schedule a first session to begin. She aims to collaborate on clear, manageable steps that fit each person’s circumstances.

How Sarah’s approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can be a place to notice recurring roles and practice different ways of relating to others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going; online meetings can include short exercises, thought records, and practical homework to try between sessions. Mindfulness practice adds simple attention skills to help manage anxiety, cravings, and emotion spikes, and can be practiced in brief guided exercises during a session. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sarah will review your concerns and goals, explain options, and help decide which methods to try first. That collaboration makes it easier to adjust the plan as needs change. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. For example, remote meetings can make it simpler to schedule therapy around work, childcare, or school commitments while still working on family-of-origin patterns and coping skills.
