About Sara

Sara Robbins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Colorado. She has five years of clinical experience and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and issues around self-esteem. Sara brings a straightforward, compassionate style to sessions and aims to build practical skills that fit daily life.

Sara uses evidence-informed approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and EMDR to address trauma and emotional dysregulation. She helps people identify strengths and set realistic goals. Sessions emphasize concrete tools for managing symptoms and responding to difficult feelings.

Her background includes work in outpatient and inpatient settings and leadership in program development for intensive outpatient services. That experience informs a structured approach to care and a familiarity with complex cases that involve trauma and substance use concerns.

Sara describes her work as collaborative and culturally aware. She pays attention to how identity and experiences shape coping and relationships. People working with her can expect direct feedback, consistent support, and a focus on building habits that reduce overwhelm.

She also brings experience supporting those affected by prejudice, sexual assault, abandonment, and attachment wounds. The aim is to help people move from isolation and shame toward greater self-compassion and clearer emotional regulation.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Sara integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing into her work. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood. EMDR uses focused recall with guided processing to help people reduce the emotional charge of traumatic memories.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal strategies. Those are useful when intense feelings or panic attacks make daily life harder. The therapist and client decide together which tools and approaches feel most helpful, adjusting as goals and needs change.

If you prefer online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. The therapist will help arrange times that fit around work, school, or caregiving, and sessions can be planned to suit quieter or shorter check-ins. Finding the right approach and schedule is part of the initial process, and the therapist works collaboratively to match methods to your goals and routines.
