About Sara
Sara Curtis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin with 11 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and anger. She also supports work on mood issues, addictions, and life transitions.
Sara focuses on practical conversation and concrete skills. Sessions are a place to talk through what is happening now and to try new ways of responding. She uses clear tools from approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy alongside client-centered listening.
She often works on everyday problems such as sleep and eating difficulties, parenting stress, workplace frustration, and struggles with self-esteem. She also addresses identity-related concerns including LGBT issues and questions around non-monogamy or polyamory. When trauma or grief is present, she keeps the pace focused and manageable.
Sara brings motivational interviewing to conversations about change, including work on addictions, career shifts, or building new habits. Mindfulness techniques are used to help people notice patterns of thought and impulse before they act. The work aims to reduce reactivity and increase choices in stressful moments.

How sessions work
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and working from the client's own goals. In practice this means the therapist asks about what matters most and shapes sessions around those priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, anger, sleep problems, and changing patterns that cause distress.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and mindful awareness. These skills can help when strong feelings build quickly or impulsive reactions are common. The therapist combines these methods so sessions mix discussion with skill practice and short exercises between meetings.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That plan can shift over time as different skills are tried and evaluated.
The original biography does not list specific session delivery methods, so confirm the available online formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Many people find remote work helps them practice skills in real contexts and keeps therapy practical and workable alongside daily life.
