About Sarah

Sarah Burt is a Colorado licensed social worker who supports people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, trauma, and parenting challenges. She holds the Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential - LCSW - and practices with a focus on practical, trauma-aware care. Sessions are aimed at helping people sort through difficult emotions and find clearer next steps.

Sarah keeps sessions straightforward and down-to-earth. She listens first, then helps clients name patterns and try small changes that can feel manageable.

Background and approach

Conversations often include developing coping tools, improving communication, and working through difficult memories. With five years of experience, Sarah draws on evidence-based techniques to guide sessions. She explains methods in plain language and tailors them to each person’s situation.

The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes. People who reach out can expect a calm, focused approach that balances empathy with practical steps. Sarah supports work on attachment concerns, family of origin issues, codependency, and caregiver stress among other areas.

She also addresses substance use and dissociation with attention to safety and stability. Appointments are offered in a variety of online formats to fit different schedules. Sarah works in English and practices from Colorado, using methods designed to help clients reduce overwhelm and build clearer ways of coping.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Sarah uses well-supported therapeutic techniques that focus on real problems and practical change. One common approach she uses involves trauma-informed methods that help people process difficult memories while building ways to stay grounded in the present. These techniques aim to reduce overwhelming reactions and improve day-to-day functioning. Another frequently used approach emphasizes skills for managing anxiety and stress, teaching concrete tools for breathing, pacing, and facing feared situations in small steps to build confidence.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to review their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they choose and adjust methods so sessions feel useful and relevant to the client’s life.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy families and caregivers. Video calls let conversations feel face-to-face without travel, while phone, live chat, and text messaging provide extra flexibility for tight schedules. These options make it easier to keep up regular contact and try techniques in day-to-day settings, which can help translate session work into real life.
