About Sarah
Sarah Heyn is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing from Wisconsin. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, relationship strain, addiction, trauma, and life transitions. Sarah uses a strengths-based, client-centered style to help people find practical next steps.
She brings eight years of clinical experience drawn from community clinics, a personal Christian counseling office, and graduate internships at a university hospital and a VA hospital.
Background and approach
That mix of settings shaped a down-to-earth approach that values clear goals and steady progress. Sessions focus on identifying what is already working in a person’s life and building on those strengths. Sarah blends tools from cognitive behavioral approaches, dialectical behavior strategies, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused ideas to match each person’s needs.
She aims for short-term, actionable changes as well as skills that last. Sarah is direct about what she can and cannot provide. She does not complete legal or medical documentation such as court letters, but she will coach clients on how to communicate with systems like courts or medical teams.
She responds to messages during weekdays and offers video and phone sessions within specified business hours. Parents who are juggling work, children, and personal stress will find a practical focus in sessions. Sarah helps parents sort priorities, manage burnout, and create realistic plans to handle parenting challenges and other life demands.

Approach options and online therapy that fits your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person and their strengths, giving people space to tell their story while the therapist reflects and supports their decisions. It helps when someone needs a respectful listener and practical steps for change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers specific techniques to change unhelpful thinking and build new coping habits for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It is useful for people who need tools to manage strong emotions and improve relationships.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will suggest options based on goals and what has worked for the person before. Together they will try techniques, adjust the plan, and pick what feels most helpful as sessions progress.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video lets people work face-to-face from wherever they are, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports short updates and ongoing reflection. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy work and family routines.
