About Sara
Sara Robbins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Colorado. She brings five years of clinical practice to her work and focuses on helping people with stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma-related concerns. She aims to create an inviting space where people feel heard and can start to make practical changes.
Sara draws on Narrative Therapy alongside other therapeutic tools to help people tell and reshape the stories they carry about themselves.
Background and approach
She uses straightforward, goal-oriented methods to help clients identify patterns and small steps that make daily life easier. Sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Her approach addresses a wide range of concerns including issues linked to shame, guilt, abandonment, and attachment.
She also supports people dealing with panic, dissociation, and the effects of sexual or military-related trauma. Sara listens for how past events and current beliefs shape reactions, then works with clients to rewrite unhelpful narratives. Sara integrates techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach concrete coping skills.
She also uses elements of EMDR and Motivational Interviewing when those methods fit a person’s goals. The focus is on practical tools people can use between sessions. People who prefer clear steps, respectful curiosity, and a collaborative pace often find her style helpful.
The work is steady and straightforward with attention to what matters most in daily life.

Online session options
Narrative and skill-based approaches for online therapy
Sara uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and to try out new, kinder ways of making sense of life events. Narrative work often helps when old patterns or labels keep getting in the way of what someone wants now.She also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical steps to reduce anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques appear in her work too, focusing on emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills for intense moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sara will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She checks in about what is and isn’t working and adjusts the plan together so therapy stays useful and realistic.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins, skill reminders, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines.
