About Sarah
Sarah Dubisar is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Oregon with 13 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship strain, sleep problems, anger, and issues around identity and sexuality. She also supports people dealing with career stress, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and major life changes.
Her background includes medical social work, crisis assessment, hospice and end-of-life support, and emergency department social work. She has worked with people facing chronic pain and serious illness, caregivers under strain, and veterans. She has experience giving testimony in court and consulting in private practice settings.
In sessions she uses straightforward, skills-based approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy are part of her practice for changing unhelpful thinking and building coping skills. Mindfulness work and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy help people notice thoughts and make values-based choices.
She runs therapy that focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. That can include behavioral experiments, skill practice for emotion regulation, and planning around sleep and daily routines. She also draws on client-centered methods to follow what matters most to each person.
Her experience includes grief counseling and hospice support, so she is familiar with intense loss and end-of-life issues. She works with adults across a wide range of life and health situations and brings clinical experience from hospitals, crisis settings, and private practice.

BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and committing to actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by clarifying what matters and setting small steps toward those goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change patterns that keep problems going. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, sleep issues, and mood problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your concerns and try methods that fit your goals and daily life. You and the therapist decide together whether to emphasize skills training, mindfulness practice, or value-based action, and this can change over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the need to travel to appointments. Many people find virtual sessions help them practice skills between meetings and bring real-life examples from their day into the conversation.
