Sarah Afriecq
I’m a licensed psychologist (PsyD), practicing in North Carolina and Texas. I specialize in supporting adults who are navigating life transitions, uncertainty, or periods of significant change. As an Army veteran, Army spouse, and daughter of immigrants, I know firsthand what it’s like to face new chapters, shift identities, and carry the weight of complex experiences. Whether you’re dealing with an identity crisis, career shift, relocation, relationship changes, or simply feeling stuck, you don’t have to go through it alone.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
I will gather background information and find out what is currently bringing you into treatment. It is important that I get a full picture of how you got to where you are now. If time permits, we will also discuss developing treatment goals and how therapy will help you get after those goals.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I am a warm, compassionate, and skills-driven therapist who believes in the power of human connection. I have the unique ability to connect with anyone—regardless of sex, gender, religion, race, status, or profession—where clients feel truly understood. My patients often describe me as kind, practical, and relatable, and I take pride in not only offering empathy but also teaching concrete, actionable skills that creates lasting growth and change. By blending heartfelt care with a practical, solutions-oriented approach, I help clients feel supported, capable, and equipped to navigate life’s challenges.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I serve individuals who may face barriers or stigma when seeking psychological services. This includes, but is not limited to, men, minorities, and first responders, who often face unique challenges in accessing and engaging with mental healthcare due to societal perceptions, cultural norms, and professional expectations. My warm, relatable approach creates a safe space for clients of all backgrounds while teaching concrete skills that foster lasting resilience.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
My therapeutic orientation is grounded in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which integrates the change-focused strategies of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with the transformative power of acceptance. At the core of DBT is a simple but profound truth: most of us are fighting reality. We invest energy into trying to change what cannot be changed—circumstances, other people, the past—and end up feeling exhausted, defeated, or stuck. DBT offers a different path. Imagine being able to sit with your emotions without being bullied by them, without needing to escape, suppress, or act on them. Imagine not being driven by impulse or urgency, but instead being able to respond with intention—guided by your values, not your distress. That is the work of DBT: learning to hold both acceptance and change, and to treat ourselves and others with awareness, compassion, and skill.
