About Sara
Sara Curtis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Wisconsin with 11 years of clinical experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and other life challenges. Sara focuses on practical steps clients can use day to day.
Her work uses straightforward conversation and active listening. She helps people name what feels difficult, sort priorities, and try small changes that might feel manageable. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused rather than long lectures or tests.
Sara draws on several approaches to guide the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking and practice new responses. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Client-centered methods keep the client's voice central while Motivational Interviewing supports change when motivation is mixed.
Sara also addresses practical life areas that affect mental health. That includes sleep and eating concerns, workplace stress, caregiving strain, and relationship communication. She will talk through coping tools and realistic plans for daily life.
People looking for help with grief, addiction, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, or identity and intimacy questions can expect focused problem-solving and skills practice. To begin, readers are invited to use the site flow to match and schedule their first session.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says to clarify priorities and feelings. This approach helps when someone needs to sort through relationship tensions, family conflict, or caregiving stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, sleep and eating issues, and practical coping.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. These tools often help with strong emotions, impulsivity, and relationship communication.
Finding the right method is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust methods based on how the work is going. Clients help shape the mix of skills practice, discussion, and planning.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. It can also let people use spoken work or screen-based worksheets for CBT and DBT skills practice in ways that match their daily routines.
