Professional statement
Sarah Nichols is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Washington, DC who practices solely in remote teletherapy sessions. Sarah specializes in Anxiety, Depression, Grief/Loss, and Couples Counseling.
Sarah utilizes behavioral therapies including CBT and ACT, as well as as strengths-based and person-centered approaches in her treatment. She will tailor each session to a client's (or couple’s) individual needs and goals. Sarah enjoys getting to know her clients, understanding their struggles, and assisting them with identifying their personal strengths and coping skills to work toward their goals. Sarah excels at helping clients find ways to reduce stressors in their lives, develop tools to self-regulate their emotions independently, find ways to communicate their needs more efficiently, and navigate through the process of grief after a significant loss in their life.
Sarah understands that therapy can be difficult to fit into a busy schedule and is excited to provide clients the opportunity to fit therapy into their lives by providing secure online video sessions during morning, evening, and weekend hours. Clients find this is helpful as they do not need to navigate the city to get to an appointment on time, but can meet when and where they feel comfortable and confident to express their needs and work through their struggles. She looks forward to hearing from you.
