Sara Lopes

Sara Lopes is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, addictions, and trauma. She uses straightforward, person-centered care to meet people where they are. Her style aims to build confidence and help people notice changes that matter sooner rather than later.

Sara draws on eight years of clinical experience and a background in social work supporting people with housing instability and complex needs. She combines practical skills from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing with narrative and solution-focused ideas. This mix helps her tailor sessions to each person’s situation and goals.

In sessions she listens first and moves at a pace that feels right for the client. Conversations are used to identify patterns, try small behavioral changes, and rehearse new ways of responding to stress, panic, or cravings. She also addresses common concerns like grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, and work-related pressures.

Sara’s approach emphasizes collaboration. She helps people set clear, manageable goals and tracks progress alongside them. People leaving therapy often report feeling more capable of handling everyday problems and more certain about their next steps.

Her practice covers a range of concerns including panic disorder and panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, substance use, and mood challenges such as depression and bipolar symptoms. She works in English and provides services from Massachusetts.
