About Sara
Sara Robbins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Clinical Social Worker (CSW) practicing in Colorado with five years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and LGBT-related concerns. Sara also works with issues like guilt and shame, attachment and abandonment, and challenges linked to military service and panic symptoms.
She favors straightforward, skills-based work. Sessions focus on identifying practical steps a person can try between meetings. Sara uses familiar, evidence-based methods to help people reduce overwhelming reactions and make clearer choices about next steps.
Her background includes outpatient leadership and work with people navigating co-occurring mental health and substance use needs. That experience informs how she structures treatment plans and crisis supports. She draws on a range of clinical tools rather than a single technique.
In practice she combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy depending on the concern. Conversations often include skill building, reframing painful beliefs, and paced processing of traumatic material when appropriate.
Sara approaches sessions as a collaborative process. She helps people set goals and track small changes. The focus is on usable strategies for managing emotions, improving relationships with oneself, and responding differently to shame or guilt.
Language of service is English and she does not accept international clients. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and for shifting self-critical or guilt-based thinking.DBT teaches specific emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills. It helps when feelings become overwhelming or when someone struggles with intense reactions and relationship patterns.
EMDR works by guiding paced processing of traumatic memories to reduce their intensity and the strong emotions they trigger. It is commonly used for post-traumatic stress and trauma-related symptoms.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss each method and collaborate with the client to decide what fits their needs, goals, and comfort level. That choice can change over time as progress is tracked.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday, or avoiding camera use when that helps someone stay focused. Licensed professionals and therapists use these approaches to support emotional regulation, processing of trauma, and practical skill building in everyday life.
