Sara Da Silva, LISW-CP, LCSW

Sara Da Silva is a Licensed Independent Social Worker - Clinical Practice (SC LISW-CP) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (NC LCSW) with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults who face stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship and family concerns, and anger. Sara speaks English, Spanish, and Portuguese and practices in North Carolina.

Sara focuses on building a collaborative relationship. She listens to each person’s story and helps them identify practical coping skills. In sessions she draws on approaches that emphasize values, skills, and clear goals rather than lengthy theory talks. The aim is to give tools people can use between sessions.

Her work includes supporting people coping with grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, eating concerns, bipolar disorder, and the stresses of life changes. She also addresses aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, blended family concerns, and substance use problems. She is familiar with transitions such as moving into assisted living and caregiving challenges.

Sara uses a solution-focused, strengths-based style. She integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques, Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas, and client-centered listening. Sessions tend to be interactive and practical, with an emphasis on building small skills to manage feelings and behavior.

For someone fed up with snapping at loved ones, holding in resentment, or feeling consumed by stress, she offers straightforward steps and ongoing support. People who want therapy in English, Spanish, or Portuguese can work with her in North Carolina.
