Sara Cooley, LCSW

Sara Cooley, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), is licensed in Colorado and Texas with five years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, mood and personality disorders, ADHD, and related problems. She describes her work plainly: talk through painful experiences, develop practical coping skills, and improve communication and self-esteem.

Sara uses several therapy approaches to guide sessions. She draws on cognitive behavioral methods to identify unhelpful thinking and change behavior. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take action despite difficult feelings. She also brings client-centered and existential ideas into conversations about meaning and choice.

In sessions she focuses on concrete strategies. That includes tools for panic and anxiety, steps to manage mood swings, and practices for handling relationship conflict or codependency. She addresses eating and sleeping problems with straightforward behavioral steps and pacing. Work on trauma often includes grounding and processing techniques suited to each person.

Sara supports people navigating family of origin issues, attachment and abandonment wounds, guilt and shame, and the aftermath of loss. She helps with career stress, compassion fatigue, and finding purpose when life changes or relationships end. Her approach is collaborative and practical.

She sees clients in Colorado and notes she accepts international clients. Sessions are conducted in English. To begin, the site asks you to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting.
