About Sara
Sara Da Silva is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in North Carolina with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults, including older adults, on problems such as anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and stress related to life changes.
She emphasizes collaboration. Sara listens to each person's story and works alongside them to build practical skills. Sessions focus on coping tools, communication strategies, and problem-solving that can apply to everyday life.
Sara uses several evidence-informed approaches to guide sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice their thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and shift patterns of thinking that keep problems going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are introduced when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness are needed.
Sara also incorporates client-centered principles, offering a nonjudgmental, interactive style and emphasizing strengths and solutions. Her background includes work with people facing addiction, mood disorders, aging-related medical issues, and transitions like moving into assisted living.
She offers services in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
BHow sessions work
How Sara uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values; it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is helpful for depression, anxiety, and some eating or anger concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supplies concrete skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication when relationships or anger are a problem.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sara treats this as a collaborative process. She will discuss how these methods might help, try techniques in session, and adjust the plan based on the client's goals and feedback.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into a workday, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Sara's approaches translate to remote work because they focus on specific skills and practical exercises that can be practiced between sessions.
