About Sarah
Sarah Bakura is a licensed clinician based in Wyoming who focuses on practical, person-focused care. She holds LCPC and LPC credentials and brings six years of clinical experience to sessions. She centers her work on helping people manage trauma, anxiety, depression, and intense mood changes. Parents reading on a phone will find clear, straightforward language and a calm tone in her approach.
She believes clients are the experts in their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are collaborative and aim to make small changes that add up over time. She uses practical tools to address anger, low self-esteem, and relationship patterns like attachment or codependency.
Sarah draws on client-centered methods to listen closely and to help people feel heard. She pairs that with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and change behavior. For strong emotions and impulsive responses she uses ideas from dialectical behavior therapy to teach coping skills.
Mindfulness practices are introduced when they fit, to help calm intense moments and bring attention back to the present. Emotionally focused ideas guide work on communication problems and hurt from past relationships. Her aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
People who reach out are guided through an initial match process and scheduling. Sarah supports clients working through life changes, grief, and struggles with mood or impulse control. She keeps the work practical and focused on everyday life improvements.
How these approaches guide online therapy
Client-centered therapy starts by listening closely to each person's story and treating them as the expert in their life. It helps build trust and clear goals for work on issues like grief, attachment, or feeling stuck. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thinking patterns and behaviors and uses simple exercises to change them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and unhelpful cycles.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try together. This is a collaborative process that may shift over time based on what helps most.
Please confirm the current session formats before booking, as options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as allowing sessions during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or a quieter way to practice skills between appointments. Licensed professionals aim to adapt exercises and skill-building to work well in remote sessions and to help clients practice changes in everyday settings.
