About Sara
Sara Curtis is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on clear, practical support for everyday struggles. She uses straightforward talk and active listening to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns. She welcomes honest conversation and aims to make the first steps feel less overwhelming.
Sara has 11 years of experience in mental health work in Wisconsin and brings that background to sessions with a calm, direct style.
Background and approach
She helps people sort through trauma and abuse, grief, and problems with mood including depression and bipolar disorder. She also addresses challenges like anger, sleep and eating difficulties, addictions, and compassion fatigue. Many clients seek her help for parenting-related stress, caregiver strain, and family-of-origin issues.
She also supports people navigating LGBT concerns, polyamory or non-monogamous relationships, and intimacy-related questions. Practical skills for communication, impulse control, and managing isolation are common session topics. Sara draws on several evidence-based approaches to shape her work.
She uses cognitive techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts, dialectical strategies to build emotion regulation and distress tolerance, and client-centered listening to follow each person’s priorities. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are woven in when they fit the goals. Sessions are offered in English and provided through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Her practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location and therapist availability. To begin, select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

Approaches that guide online parenting and life support
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. The therapist reflects feelings and priorities so people feel heard and can set their own goals. This approach is useful when parenting stress or family conflict makes it hard to know where to begin.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical ways to spot unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that increase anxiety or low mood. It often includes simple exercises to try between sessions and works well for stress, sleep and mood problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships through emotion regulation and distress tolerance practices.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and challenges and then try methods that fit the person’s life. Plans are adjusted as work progresses so techniques match what actually helps.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions let people work face to face from different places, phone sessions use less bandwidth, and chat or text can be good for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy parenting schedules and day-to-day life.
