Sara Evans

Sara Evans is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) who helps people handle stress, anger, anxiety, and life changes. She meets people with warmth and respect and treats them as the expert on their own life. Her style is nonjudgmental and interactive, focused on listening first and then working toward practical steps.

Sara uses a client-centered, strength-based stance to find what will work best for each person. She draws on cognitive behavioral tools to notice unhelpful thinking and on solution-focused techniques to set clear, manageable goals. Together with clients she chooses skills or education that fit their situation.

Sara earned a Bachelor of Arts in Family Life Education in 2012 and a Master of Social Work in 2015 from Western Michigan University. Since 2015 she has worked with teens and families involved in the criminal justice system, gaining experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, family conflict, low self-esteem, substance use concerns, and major life transitions.

Her approach is practical and respectful. Sessions emphasize small steps and real skills that can be used between meetings. She believes people can grow and change when they have clear tools and steady encouragement.

Messaging is checked daily and she offers communication options to match different needs. Availability is primarily evenings and weekends so sessions can be scheduled around work and family life.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Sara uses client-centered therapy, which means sessions focus on the person’s goals and experience. That approach emphasizes listening, respect, and building on strengths to move forward.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, to help people notice patterns of thinking that increase stress or anger. CBT offers practical tools and exercises that can be practiced between sessions to change reactions and behavior.

Solution-Focused Therapy is another tool she uses to set clear, short-term goals. This approach helps identify small, concrete steps and track progress over time.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sara will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

The biography lists chat, text, phone, and face chat as communication options, so confirm the current session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow for quicker check-ins when needed, and let people use exercises or homework between meetings without extra travel.
