About Sara
Sara Evans is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) who focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or life changes. She approaches sessions with warmth and respect. She views each person as the expert on their life and works alongside them to set practical goals.
Sara uses a client-centered style that emphasizes strengths and the person's own perspective. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.
Background and approach
Solution-focused methods help keep sessions goal-oriented and short-term when that is helpful. Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Family Life Education and a Master of Social Work from Western Michigan University, earned in 2015. Since graduating, she has worked in settings tied to the criminal justice system, supporting people with anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, self-esteem, and family conflict.
Sara typically connects by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. She aims to be responsive and checks messages daily to keep communication moving. Evening and weekend times are part of her regular schedule.
Sessions are practical and conversational. Clients can expect to learn skills, try small experiments between meetings, and revisit what helps. The focus is on clear steps the person can use in daily life.
How her approaches work online
Sara uses client-centered therapy to follow what matters most to the person. This approach focuses on listening, building rapport, and finding strengths the person already has. It is useful for people who want validation and a supportive space to sort through feelings.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors together. CBT helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Solution-focused therapy is used to set short-term, practical goals and notice progress quickly.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Sara will talk with the person about goals and preferences, then suggest techniques to try. She adapts methods over time based on what is working and what the person wants to focus on.
Online sessions offer flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins and real-time support possible between longer sessions. These options allow therapy to fit around busy schedules, evening and weekend needs, and different communication styles.
