Background and approach
Her background includes five years of clinical experience as an LCSW in Colorado. Sara draws on several evidence-based methods to match a client’s needs. That means she may use skills work to steady intense emotions or values-focused exercises to clarify what matters most.
She often helps people work through attachment wounds, abandonment concerns, and issues around shame or guilt. Clients also bring challenges like panic attacks, mood disorders, compassion fatigue, and struggles with intimacy or codependency. Sessions can address career stress, identity and LGBT concerns, and parenting strain.
Sara aims to help people build steadier daily routines and clearer boundaries. She supports learning tools for managing anger, improving self-esteem, and reducing isolation. The work combines skill practice, personal reflection, and real-world problem solving to help clients move forward.
Therapeutic approaches that translate online
Sara frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT helps people clarify values and commit to meaningful actions, useful for stress, purpose, and motivation concerns. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with concrete behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes a nonjudgmental listening stance and helping clients feel heard as they find their own solutions. The therapist and client work together to pick the approaches that fit a person’s goals and preferences rather than applying a single method from the start.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make regular work easier to maintain. Video is useful for deeper discussion and skill practice, phone can be quicker when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports short check-ins or ongoing skill coaching between sessions. These options help blend practical flexibility with steady therapeutic work.
