More about Sarah
- 4 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin with over 6 years of experience working at a Behavioral Health hospital and outpatient clinic. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, anger, and ADHD. I have also worked with many clients who have struggled with self-harm and suicide. My approach is client centered and my training has been heavily focused in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).
When working with clients, I strive to make them feel comfortable opening up. Coming to therapy is often a difficult choice to make, and I am here to help you achieve your treatment goals. You have made the first step and I am here to help you along the way. Therapy can be difficult at times, and I bring a warm energy and often use humor. I am excited to meet you and start working with you!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
