About Dr. Sarah Kinsch

Dr. Sarah Kinsch, LPC, brings a warm, human approach to therapy informed by a Doctorate in Psychology and a Master’s in Clinical Therapy - advanced graduate training in psychological assessment and clinical practice. She specializes in supporting people who are just beginning therapy and may feel unsure, nervous, or resistant to traditional appointment-based models. Many seeking help for stress, anxiety, intimacy concerns, self-esteem, grief, compassion fatigue, bipolar symptoms, or major life changes find her approach approachable and grounding.

Rather than emphasizing weekly face-to-face sessions, Dr. Kinsch often works through messaging to reduce pressure and meet people where they are. Messaging-based therapy allows shorter, more frequent check-ins and a gentler path into the work for those who feel awkward or overwhelmed by the idea of saying "I’m seeing a therapist." Her clinical toolkit includes client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral strategies, and dialectical behavior techniques tailored to each person’s needs. She also addresses attachment and communication difficulties, first responder and veteran issues, personality concerns, and challenges common to young adults and women.

Dr. Kinsch frames therapy as a collaborative process that emphasizes starting from the client’s present experience and building skills and insight at a comfortable pace. For people who prefer conversation without the formality of traditional sessions, her style aims to make therapy feel less clinical and more human.

Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Care



Dr. Sarah Kinsch uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive space where the client’s priorities guide the work - the therapist listens deeply and helps people explore their values, feelings, and goals at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is applied to help identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and mood regulation. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when impulsivity, intense emotions, or relationship challenges arise.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Kinsch collaborates with each person to determine what fits best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. She adapts methods over time as progress and circumstances evolve so the work stays relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Dr. Kinsch can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support between in-person appointments if needed, and engage in therapy in ways that feel most manageable for the individual.
