About Sara
Sara Cooley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Colorado with five years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions, and lists social anxiety and panic attacks among the concerns she addresses. She also supports those coping with grief, addiction, relationship strain, and stress-related difficulties.
Her approach uses practical, evidence-informed tools. Sessions focus on clear goals, learning skills to manage intense feelings, and improving everyday functioning. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help with thoughts and behaviors that fuel anxiety.
Sara also uses Client-Centered and Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas to help people notice what matters to them and build steadier emotional regulation. She talks through attachment and family-of-origin patterns that often affect relationships and self-worth. She will work with issues like body image, codependency, shame, and isolation in concrete ways.
People can expect straightforward conversations and skill practice. Therapy can include short exercises, thought records, and experiments to test new behaviors between sessions. She supports people affected by mood disorders, ADHD, panic disorder, and other listed concerns by breaking problems into manageable steps.
Sara accepts international clients and conducts work in English. She notes that session costs vary by location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Sara uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values even when anxiety is present. ACT often involves noticing thoughts and making small behavioral changes that align with personal goals.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. CBT is commonly used for social anxiety and panic by practicing new responses to feared situations and tracking progress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and will try different methods to find what fits best. This is a collaborative process and methods can be adjusted as needs change.
