Sara Cooley

Sara Cooley is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Colorado who helps people face problems such as anger, anxiety, depression, grief, and stress. She works with adults on issues like trauma, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life changes. Her tone is compassionate and affirming, focused on practical steps people can use right away.

In sessions she listens for what matters most to each person. She helps people notice patterns, test small changes, and build skills that reduce intense emotions and improve daily functioning. She uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs, including strategies drawn from acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavior work, and client-centered listening.

Sara brings five years of clinical experience to her practice and holds LCSW credentials in Colorado and Texas. She often addresses attachment issues, family of origin concerns, codependency, and struggles with self-esteem or body image. She also supports people coping with panic attacks, bipolar mood patterns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She helps people set clear, manageable goals and practices skills between sessions. She pays attention to how guilt, shame, and abandonment wounds show up in relationships and daily life, and she helps clients find ways to repair and move forward.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Sara commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take actions that match those values even when emotions feel intense. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic and persistent worry.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed based on how things are going.

Confirm session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by eliminating travel time and allowing more flexible scheduling. It also lets people choose shorter check-ins when that fits better or pick audio-only meetings when less bandwidth is needed. Licensed professionals can help clients translate in-person techniques to remote sessions so skills practice and emotion regulation work continue between meetings.
