Sara Irwin, LCPC, LPC

Sara Irwin is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 14 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and parenting struggles, anger, and other life changes. She also supports people dealing with grief, intimacy challenges, self-esteem, ADHD, and career concerns.

Sara uses direct listening and practical problem solving in sessions. She draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas, client-centered principles, and emotion-focused skills to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses. Sessions focus on real-life steps clients can use between meetings.

Her background includes a master’s degree in Community Counseling from Creighton University and many years in clinic and private-practice settings. That experience includes work with substance use, impulse control issues, and trauma-related concerns. She has worked with a broad range of issues across the lifespan in clinical settings.

In conversation she aims to be straightforward and genuine. She helps people clarify goals, practice new skills, and evaluate what changes are actually working. The work is practical more than theoretical, with attention to small changes that reduce tension and improve relationships.

Outside of practice she is a parent who keeps busy with family activities, running, travel, and reading. Her approach reflects that practical, down-to-earth perspective and a focus on day-to-day problem solving.
