About Sara

Sara Robbins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who practices in Colorado. She holds the credentials LCSW and CSW and brings five years of direct clinical experience to her practice. Sara focuses on helping people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and concerns related to LGBT identity. Sara uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She helps people set clear goals and build tools to manage symptoms day to day. Her approach is client-centered and culturally aware, with attention to how experiences like prejudice or military service can shape emotional life. Her background includes outpatient leadership and work with intensive programs, along with experience in inpatient settings. That experience informs how she structures care for people with complex trauma, panic, and issues like dissociation or intense shame. She combines different approaches to match how someone is feeling and what they want to change. In sessions she mixes skills practice, focused talk, and guided processing when appropriate. Techniques come from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy. The goal is practical progress - fewer overwhelming moments and clearer steps forward. Sara aims to create a steady, respectful space for the work. She invites people to name their priorities and works with them at a pace that fits their needs. If you want to explore anxiety, depression, trauma, or related concerns, she helps people move toward safer, more manageable days.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Sara commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and it can help with anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms. EMDR is a structured method for processing traumatic memories and reducing the emotional charge they carry. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to help with emotional regulation and distress tolerance. DBT skills teach concrete practices for handling intense feelings and improving relationships. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process; she works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can deliver the same therapeutic methods used in person, adapting exercises and processing to an online setting when appropriate.
