About Sarah

Sarah Haberman is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Minnesota who primarily uses cognitive behavioral therapy to address mood and stress-related concerns.

Background and approach

She frames work in a client-centered way, combining practical skills with thoughtful exploration to help people manage anxiety, depression, grief, sleep difficulties, ADHD-related challenges, and compassion fatigue. Her approach blends evidence-informed techniques and an empathic stance to help clients build coping skills and improve day-to-day functioning.

With three years of professional experience, she adapts interventions to each person’s needs, offering interventions for body image, self-esteem, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, post-traumatic stress, and seasonal affective disorder. Sessions emphasize collaboration, meeting clients where they are, and gently encouraging growth while honoring each person’s pace.

Sarah aims to create a supportive atmosphere where people can address difficult emotions, process trauma and abuse, and work toward greater self-love and forgiveness. She provides care through multiple online formats and tailors her methods, drawing on motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas when helpful.

Prospective clients in Minnesota can expect a thoughtful, flexible clinician who focuses on practical tools alongside deeper understanding of patterns that contribute to distress.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Sarah commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and sleep disruption. Motivational Interviewing is another tool she uses to help clarify values and strengthen motivation for change, particularly when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about taking steps forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Sarah works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time, combining practical skill-building with reflective work so clients can both manage immediate symptoms and understand patterns that influence their wellbeing.

Online therapy with her is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access care from Minnesota and allow continuity of work even when life is busy, helping clients maintain momentum while receiving tailored clinical support.
