About Sarah
Sarah Sifran-McClellan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with 14 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, addiction, ADHD, and issues tied to family of origin. Sarah also addresses life changes, self-esteem, anger, and career-related stress.
Her style is straightforward and person-focused. Sessions are built around what the client is experiencing now and how patterns from the family they grew up in show up today. She uses practical tools and conversation to help people notice unhelpful habits, try alternatives, and track what changes. Expect clear goals, skill practice, and regular check-ins on progress.
Sarah draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current expectations and reactions. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify thoughts that feed anxiety or low mood. Motivational Interviewing is used when making changes around substance use or other habits feels difficult.
She has experience supporting people with adoption and foster care questions, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, and commitment or control issues. Sarah also works with concerns such as body image, divorce and separation, and the effects of natural or human-caused disaster on coping.
Clients speak English in sessions. Her practice follows state licensure for Colorado and Oklahoma as an LPC. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment through the online intake flow.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current expectations and reactions. In sessions this might mean tracing patterns from family of origin and practicing new ways to respond in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions often involve identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them with experiments, and developing coping strategies for anxiety or low mood. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused approach to change. It supports people who are unsure about changing behaviors such as substance use by exploring ambivalence and building motivation. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and together decide what to try based on a client's goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process can include mixing approaches across sessions as progress is reviewed. Confirm the exact session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the original profile. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so appointments are easier to keep. Discuss preferred timing and session length when scheduling to make sessions practical for everyday life.Areas of expertise
