About Sarah

Sarah Wright is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 3 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, mood concerns, addictions, relationship and family strains, grief, sleeping and eating concerns, and anger.

She uses practical, skills-based methods in sessions. That can include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to notice and reframe unhelpful thoughts, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to clarify values and take committed action, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for managing strong emotions and improving emotional regulation. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused techniques are also part of her toolkit.

Sarah can include faith or spirituality in sessions when clients want that included. Her style is person-centered and flexible, aiming to match tools to what someone actually needs in their life. She emphasizes clear steps and coping strategies rather than abstract explanations.

Clients may work on managing anger that shows up at home or work, reducing reactive responses, and building steadier ways to handle frustration. Sessions often focus on practical exercises, skills practice, and short-term goal setting to make everyday life feel more manageable.

She has experience across several settings and clinical topics and is open to working with people who want a structured, skill-focused approach that can include discussion of values and spiritual concerns when requested.

How sessions work

How ACT, CBT and DBT inform online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying what matters to them and taking small steps toward those values. It can help when anger shows up around identity, relationships, or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns that fuel anger and practicing alternative responses to reduce reactivity. It suits work-related frustration and day-to-day triggers. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to lower impulsive reactions and improve communication.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist works with clients to test methods, track what helps, and adjust plans based on goals and preferences. That collaborative process makes it easier to find practical tools that fit a person's routine and challenges.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online formats can make it easier to fit sessions into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or remove the need to travel. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT and DBT exercises for virtual work, practice skills between sessions, and set concrete at-home tasks to build steadier responses to anger.
