Sara Schmidt, LPCC, is dedicated to helping individuals find meaningful, lasting relief from the mental health challenges that affect daily life. Practicing at LifeStance Health in Kentucky, she works with children, teens, and adults, creating a supportive environment where clients feel safe, heard, and empowered to navigate their unique paths toward healing. Sara specializes in individual therapy, offering compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to each person’s needs.
Sara provides thoughtful support for those navigating anxiety, depression, and trauma-related concerns, with additional expertise in ADHD and mood disorders like bipolar disorder. She believes that building trust and understanding a person’s story are essential to effective care, particularly when addressing issues like obsessive-compulsive disorder and grief. By blending clinical insight with warmth and empathy, Sara helps clients gain tools to manage symptoms, build resilience, and improve their overall quality of life.
A particular focus of Sara’s work involves supporting individuals within the LGBTQ+ community, first responders, and those on the autism spectrum. She is passionate about creating an affirming, inclusive space where people from diverse backgrounds feel welcomed and valued. Her approach incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients challenge unhelpful thought patterns and build healthier coping skills. Sara also offers additional support for alcohol and drug use issues, eating disorders, and women’s mental health concerns, providing comprehensive care that reflects the complexities of modern life.
Outside of her clinical work, Sara enjoys cheering on Cincinnati sports teams, remodeling her home, and spending time with her dog and cat. A food enthusiast, she loves cooking, baking, and sharing meals with family and friends.
