About Sara

Sara Millet is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) with a decade of experience working with people facing anxiety, trauma, grief, stress, and concerns related to identity and self-esteem.

Background and approach

She draws on practical, evidence-informed methods to help clients make sense of painful experiences and develop coping strategies that fit day-to-day life. Her background centers on addressing trauma and abuse, supporting LGBTQ concerns, and helping people rebuild confidence after loss or difficult transitions.

In sessions she mixes warmth and grounded problem-solving, aiming to create an open, respectful space where difficult topics can be explored with clarity and sometimes a bit of humor.

Sara pays attention to relational patterns and emotional responses, addressing issues such as abandonment, caregiver stress, rumination, impulsivity, loneliness, and social anxiety while helping clients clarify life purpose and self-love. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and practical steps, adapting evidence-based techniques to each person’s goals and preferences.

Approaches for change in online sessions

Sara uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and build practical skills for managing anxiety, mood difficulties, and patterns that interfere with everyday functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore relational patterns, early attachment experiences, and how those dynamics influence current relationships and emotional responses. Client-Centered Therapy offers a supportive, nonjudgmental framework where the client’s own goals and insights guide the pace and focus of work.

Choosing the right approach often happens together. She collaborates with clients to match therapeutic methods to their needs, goals, and comfort level, adjusting strategies over time as progress and preferences become clearer.

Online sessions are available via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around schedules and location. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments, allowing therapeutic work to fit into everyday life.
