About Sarah

Sarah Newmeyer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Nevada with 17 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, anger, self-esteem, and a range of related concerns. She also addresses parenting strains, intimacy issues, and life changes.

Her approach is interactive and client-centered. She listens first, then uses straightforward tools to help people name what is happening. Sessions often include practical exercises and psychoeducational material to prompt reflection and new habits. Sarah emphasizes clear goals that reflect what each person wants to change.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to look at thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and attachment-based ideas help with values, meaning, and relationship patterns.

Sarah has worked across settings with diverse adult populations, including veterans and caregivers, and has experience with substance use and co-occurring problems. That background informs a practical focus on coping skills and problem solving. She helps people handle both immediate stress and longer-term patterns.

People seeking support for anger will find conversations that focus on understanding triggers, building alternative responses, and reducing the harm that anger causes in daily life. Sessions aim to be straightforward and usable between meetings. If someone wants to begin, they follow the provider's booking steps to match and schedule a first appointment.

How sessions work

How her approaches work in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and committed action. It helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, choose the values they want to live by, and take small steps toward those values despite difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that maintain problems, offering concrete exercises to test beliefs and build new habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, useful when anger or intense feelings are frequent.

Deciding which combination of approaches to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to try approaches that fit their goals and preferences, adjusting methods based on what helps in real life. That practical, trial-and-adjust approach is part of early sessions.

Session formats should be confirmed before booking. When arranging online appointments, people often find it easier to fit sessions into their schedule and to use shorter check-ins when time is tight. Phone sessions can reduce the need for video and lower bandwidth. Whatever the format, the focus remains on skills and strategies that can be practiced between meetings and applied to situations like work stress, family tension, or personal triggers.
