Sarah Dubisar

Sarah Dubisar is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people coping with grief, stress, anxiety, and life changes. She offers support for trauma, depression, relationship strain, caregiving stress, and issues that arise near the end of life, including hospice and end-of-life counseling.

Her approach blends practical skills with a calm, person-centered style. She uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and develop healthier habits. Mindfulness and acceptance strategies are part of the work when people want more balance and emotional regulation.

Sarah draws on experience from medical social work, emergency department and hospice settings. That background informs how she supports people facing serious illness, chronic pain, or caregiving demands. She also has experience with first responder and veteran concerns, and with multicultural and aging-related issues.

Sessions focus on clear, doable steps such as skill practice, values clarification, and breaking problems into small tasks. Sarah sometimes consults in private practice settings and has worked with court-related matters and severe mental illness in clinical roles. She has two therapy dogs who are part of the daily clinic routine.

People looking for help are encouraged to consider what they most want to change or manage. Sarah aims to meet clients where they are, using a mix of evidence-informed methods and a collaborative, steady style to address pain, loss, mood, and life transitions.

How therapy approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are hard. It can be useful for chronic stress, grief, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on linking thoughts, feelings, and actions so clients can test unhelpful beliefs and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment skills to notice sensations and emotions without getting swept away, which supports emotional regulation and pain management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and daily life. She blends techniques rather than using a single method, and clients can discuss what feels most helpful as sessions progress.

The biography does not specify which online or in-person session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, shorten check-ins, avoid travel, or use different ways of communicating when energy or mobility is limited. Licensed professionals often adapt ACT, CBT, and mindfulness exercises to remote care so skills can be practiced between meetings and applied in everyday settings.
