About Sarah
Sarah Heyn is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin. She brings eight years of clinical experience supporting adults through anxiety, stress, depression, relationship strain, and life transitions. Sarah takes a respectful, strengths-based approach and centers the person’s own knowledge about their life.
Sarah’s background includes work in a community clinic, a personal Christian counseling office, and graduate internships at a university hospital and a VA hospital. That mix of settings gave her experience with mood concerns, ADHD, grief, addiction, LGBTQ issues, and parenting challenges.
Background and approach
She aims to match practical tools to each person’s goals. In sessions she blends client-centered listening with strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Conversations focus on identifying patterns, building coping skills, and setting small, doable steps that add up over time.
She helps people develop a plan for handling future stressors. Sarah communicates on weekdays and responds to messages Monday through Friday before 2 p.m. She offers live video and phone sessions between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on business days and also uses messaging options for shorter check-ins or notes between sessions.
She does not write letters for courts, lawyers, or medical providers, but will discuss ways to advocate within those systems. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. The therapist offers empathy, reflects back what she hears, and helps clients name their own goals. This approach is useful for building trust and for people who want a supportive, non-judgmental space.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. Sessions teach concrete skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and to try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides tools for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be helpful for anger, mood swings, and relationship challenges.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different strategies, and adjust plans based on what is most helpful. Clients and the therapist work together to find what fits each person’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face without traveling. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging allow quick notes, homework exchanges, or brief support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep momentum and use therapy tools in day-to-day life.
