Sarah Bodden-Cheffen, LPC

Sarah Bodden-Cheffen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship and intimacy concerns. She also supports people facing parenting challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, and mood-related difficulties such as bipolar symptoms.

Her approach centers on listening closely and building on each person’s strengths. She draws from client-centered work to keep sessions grounded in what matters to the individual. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and everyday habits that get in the way of daily functioning.

Mindfulness strategies are offered to help calm intense emotions and improve tolerance for difficult moments. Emotion-Focused Therapy is used when relationship patterns and emotional connection are central concerns. Treatment also addresses a wide range of additional issues, including codependency, shame, impulsivity, obsessions and compulsions, and non-monogamous relationship concerns.

Sarah has nine years of professional experience in clinical settings. She has worked with LGBTQ+ clients on self-esteem, relationship issues, and feelings of guilt or shame. Her style is collaborative and practical; she helps people identify small changes that make daily life easier.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take small values-based steps. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thought patterns and everyday habits that maintain problems and practicing different ways of responding. CBT often helps with anxiety, mood concerns, and obsessive thinking. Client-Centered Therapy creates a space where the person’s perspective guides the work and the therapist follows the client’s lead to build insight and self-trust.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and happens together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That collaborative decision guides which methods are emphasized as treatment moves forward.

Because the listing does not specify session formats, confirm current options before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people try different approaches and adjust how sessions are run as goals change, while working with a licensed professional who tailors methods to each person’s needs.
