About Sarah

Sarah Sifran-McClellan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 14 years of experience. She helps people who are stressed, anxious, or dealing with depression and self-esteem struggles. She also supports those facing life changes, addiction concerns, relationship strain, anger, and career questions.

Sarah focuses on clear, practical work in sessions. She listens closely and helps clients name patterns that get in the way. Together they develop coping strategies and steps that feel doable in everyday life.

Her background includes work with adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, blended family challenges, and caregiver stress. She also addresses body image, codependency, commitment and control issues, and family of origin matters. Sarah has experience with substance use and domestic violence related concerns as well as disruptive mood regulation issues.

Therapy draws on several well-known approaches, including Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. She blends approaches to fit each person rather than using a single method.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and straightforward. Clients can expect to talk about current problems, try practical skills in session, and bring new strategies back into daily life. Sarah helps people build clearer goals and small steps toward change.

How these approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can look at relationship history and practice new ways of connecting and setting boundaries.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals. The therapist follows the client's lead and offers empathy and reflection to help people clarify what matters most to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test them with practical experiments. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and self-esteem work where concrete exercises and homework can make a difference.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss options with each person and adapt methods to fit their goals, values, and comfort level. That conversation is part of the first sessions and continues as needs change.

Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to continue steady work through life transitions while staying connected with a licensed professional.
