Sara Figueroa, LCSW

Sara Figueroa is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with 14 years of practice. She works in Wisconsin and focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship concerns, grief, parenting issues, anger, self-esteem, and related problems. She uses practical, conversational methods to help people manage difficult emotions and everyday struggles.

Sara earned her master's degree in social work and has worked across child welfare advocacy, substance use settings, crisis intervention, psychotherapy, sexual assault response advocacy, and hospice and grief counseling. That range informs how she approaches complex reactions to loss, trauma, and life change. She has experience supporting people who identify as LGBT and those from varied cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds.

In sessions she combines Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She helps people name the patterns that keep them stuck, test small changes, and build clear steps they can try between meetings. Conversations are direct and practical rather than abstract.

Sara pays attention to problems like abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, control issues, and caregiver stress. She also works with concerns such as bipolar mood difficulties, dissociation, and disruptive mood dysregulation. Her clinical experience includes supporting people through adoption or foster care questions and aging or cancer-related stress.

Her style favors concrete goals and collaborative planning. People who want straightforward strategies for anger, coping with life changes, or ongoing stress often find this approach useful. Before booking, confirm current session options and the exact format that fits your schedule.
