About Sarah
Sarah Bakura is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wyoming with six years of clinical experience. She works with people who are coping with trauma and abuse, anger, depression, stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and life changes.
Sarah starts from the idea that each person knows their story best. She helps people notice their strengths and use them to face difficult feelings and situations. In sessions she listens, asks practical questions, and supports clients in making small, sustainable changes.
Her background includes work with abandonment and attachment issues, patterns such as avoidant and dependent personalities, and problems like codependency and control struggles. She also addresses dissociation, impulsivity, isolation, and the effects of family conflict. This experience shapes a focus on emotional patterns and how they affect relationships and everyday life.
Sarah draws on several clinical methods to guide conversations and skill practice. She uses client-centered work to keep the person's goals in focus, cognitive behavioral techniques to test unhelpful thoughts, and mindfulness skills to manage strong emotions. Dialectical behavior ideas and emotionally focused work inform how she approaches intense feelings and relationship concerns.
Sessions aim to be practical and direct. People leave with specific strategies to try between meetings and a plan for what to work on next. To begin, clients choose the booking path and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration. The therapist focuses on the client's goals and responds to what the person brings, which helps shape sessions around real concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioral experiments, useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance, which can help with impulsivity and anger.Finding the right combination of methods is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and together determine which approaches to use. That collaborative planning means techniques can be adjusted as needs change.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people try skills in real-world settings between meetings and report back, which supports practical learning and progress.
