About Sara

Sara Robbins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with five years of clinical experience practicing in Colorado. She draws on a trauma-informed, client-centered orientation and integrates evidence-based methods to help people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and issues related to identity and trauma.

Background and approach

Sara emphasizes collaborative work that starts with clear goals and builds practical skills to manage symptoms and increase emotional resilience. Her approach blends structured interventions with attention to personal meaning, addressing concerns such as self-esteem, panic, post-traumatic stress, shame, and isolation.

She also focuses on specific themes like abandonment, attachment struggles, dissociation, and the impact of prejudice and discrimination. Sara aims to create a consistently empathetic and culturally aware therapeutic relationship, meeting clients where they are and supporting steady progress toward their priorities.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and developing concrete tools to change reactions and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to address intense emotions and relationship challenges. EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a trauma-focused approach that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact through structured reprocessing techniques.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each client to explore goals, preferences, and symptom patterns and then prioritize approaches that fit those needs. That collaborative stance allows adjustments over time so therapy stays aligned with what is most helpful.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to fit regular work on goals into a busy life and to continue momentum between appointments through timely check-ins and written exchanges with licensed professionals.
