Sara Robbins, LCSW, CSW

Sara Robbins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Colorado with five years in direct clinical practice. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, and related concerns such as self-esteem and panic. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use in daily life.

Before her current practice she spent extensive time in inpatient care and outpatient program leadership. That background informs how she approaches more complex presentations like post-traumatic stress and co-occurring substance concerns. She also has experience supporting veterans and active duty service members within those settings.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She helps clients set clear goals and build skills for emotion regulation, coping, and problem solving. Therapy combines talking and skill practice so people leave each session with usable tools.

Sara draws on a range of evidence-based methods, including cognitive behavioral work to address unhelpful thinking, dialectical behavior strategies for emotional regulation, and EMDR for trauma processing when appropriate. She also uses narrative and motivational approaches to clarify values and strengthen motivation.

She describes her practice as culturally responsive and focused on equity. That includes attention to how prejudice, discrimination, and identity-related stress affect daily functioning. People seeking help for shame, isolation, attachment wounds, or sexual assault and abuse can expect goal-oriented work tailored to those issues.

To begin, clients complete an intake that identifies current needs and practical steps forward. Sessions aim to balance insight with concrete strategies so people can manage symptoms and move toward clearer, more stable functioning.
