About Sara
Sara Robbins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings five years of direct clinical experience in Colorado. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, and struggles around identity and self-worth. Sara aims to make therapy straightforward and practical so people can use new skills in daily life.
She offers a calm, collaborative style. Sessions typically combine talking with body-aware work to notice how feelings show up in the body.
Background and approach
Sara draws on approaches like Somatic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, and Motivational Interviewing to tailor a plan to each person’s needs. Sara’s background includes outpatient care and program leadership in clinical settings. That experience shaped how she organizes treatment plans and supports people through crisis and transition.
She pays attention to cultural context and to how systems affect mental health. In sessions she helps people set clear, manageable goals and build step-by-step tools to reduce panic, manage overwhelming feelings, and improve self-esteem. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, dissociation, guilt and shame, and experiences of prejudice and discrimination.
Her approach is practical and steady. She works with each person at their own pace, using techniques matched to their goals and comfort level. For someone wanting a grounded, skill-focused path that also attends to body sensations, her work can feel direct and compassionate.
How Sara’s approaches work in online therapy
Somatic Therapy focuses on how emotions and trauma show up in the body. It helps people notice sensations, regulate physiological responses, and use grounded practices to feel more present. This can be useful for panic, dissociation, and chronic tension.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It breaks problems into small, manageable steps and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking patterns. Many people use CBT to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It offers clear tools to tolerate intense feelings and respond differently when stress spikes.
Sara treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will discuss options with each person, try techniques together, and adjust methods based on needs, goals, and comfort. The aim is to find what helps most rather than to stick rigidly to one model.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to use support when it’s needed between appointments. For people balancing work, caregiving, or mobility constraints, remote options can make care more accessible while still allowing a steady therapeutic relationship.
