About Sara
Sara Da Silva is a Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina. She works with adults and older adults, helping them manage stress, anxiety, mood changes, and life transitions. Sara speaks English, Spanish, and Portuguese and brings three years of clinical experience to her sessions.
Sara builds a collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship with each person. She listens to their story and works side by side with them.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical tools and coping skills people can use between appointments. Her approach mixes acceptance and commitment techniques, cognitive behavioral tools, and client-centered listening. That means Sara helps people notice what matters to them, change unhelpful thinking patterns, and use their own strengths to move forward.
She also uses strategies from dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally-focused work when they fit the situation. Sara has experience with anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, trauma, and relationship concerns. She also supports people facing aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, cancer-related concerns, body image, and immigration-related stress.
Her work includes support for intimacy issues, self-esteem, anger, and coping with life changes. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. The first step is completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session according to therapist availability.
Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Approaches that translate to online care
Sara often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when strong emotions arise. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Sara will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest techniques to try. Together they review what helps and adapt the plan over time so sessions stay practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for busy adults. Video calls allow face-to-face connection when a live conversation is preferred. Phone sessions can be an easier option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share updates or work through small moments between scheduled sessions. These flexible formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical schedules while using ACT and CBT tools in everyday life.
