About Sarah
Sarah Heyn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin with eight years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, addiction concerns, and life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and she refers to her clinical background in both community and hospital settings.
Before becoming an LCSW she completed graduate internships at a university hospital and a VA hospital in Madison. She also provided counseling in a community clinic and a private Christian counseling office. These roles gave her regular experience with grief, ADHD, LGBTQ concerns, parenting questions, and substance use issues.
Her approach is client-centered and strengths-based. She treats the person as the expert on their life and works as a guide when stressors feel overwhelming. Practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Interpersonal Therapy are used alongside clients' existing strengths.
In sessions she and the client build an action plan for handling future stressors and triggers. The work emphasizes concrete skills for responding to anger, improving communication, and managing daily routines like sleep and eating. Progress is tied to real, measurable steps rather than vague promises.
Sarah communicates with clients through platform messaging during business days and offers live video or phone sessions weekdays between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. She does not provide legal or medical letters but will discuss ways to advocate with other systems from a therapeutic perspective.
How sessions work
Using CBT and Client-Centered Work Online
Sarah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns and try different behaviors. CBT focuses on small experiments and practical skills for anxiety, anger, and mood problems. Client-Centered Therapy gives space for the client to describe their priorities while the therapist reflects and supports problem solving. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills for intense feelings and relationship strain.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Sarah will talk with the client about their goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. The plan can change as progress is made, and the client helps decide which tools feel most useful.
The biography says she offers live video and phone sessions weekdays between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., and that she responds to platform messages during business days. If you want specific session options, confirm them before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks, avoid travel time, or use a shorter phone check-in when schedules are tight. Therapists and licensed professionals often find these formats useful for teaching skills, reviewing homework, and tracking small changes over time.
