About Sarah
Sarah Newmeyer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Nevada with 17 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and other life changes including issues around intimacy and parenting.

Sarah draws on several evidence-informed approaches to guide sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and shift patterns of thought and behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and distress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports clearer values and committed action despite difficult feelings.
Attachment-based ideas inform how Sarah looks at relationship patterns, abandonment concerns, and issues tied to attachment style. She also works with topics such as codependency, communication problems, avoidant personality patterns, and challenges faced by first responders.
Sessions can address substance-related problems, eating concerns, bipolar mood management, and grief work. Sarah has experience with LGBT issues, HIV/AIDS, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stressors. Her practice emphasizes setting clear goals and using practical tools to help people make gradual changes.
Approaches used in remote sessions
Sarah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. DBT teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when emotions run high.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify values and take committed action even when uncomfortable feelings are present. These approaches can be blended in sessions so practical skills, values work, and relationship patterns are all addressed as needed. Choosing which approach to emphasize is a collaborative process based on the client’s goals and preferences.
Session formats in her biography include video and phone. Confirm the current session options before booking so they match your needs. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy week easier, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time.
