About Sarah
Sarah Heyn is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin. She uses a client-centered approach and practical tools to help people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and relationship struggles. She brings eight years of experience from community clinics, a personal Christian counseling office, and graduate internships at UW Hospital and the VA Hospital in Madison.
That background means she has worked with a wide range of concerns, including depression, grief, addiction, ADHD, and LGBTQ issues.
Background and approach
Sarah focuses on helping people build on their own strengths. Sessions typically combine conversational listening with action-oriented strategies from cognitive behavioral and solution-focused approaches. The aim is to leave clients with a clear plan for handling tough moments and future stressors.
She pays attention to everyday life demands like work-family balance. Sarah offers message responses on weekdays and schedules video or phone sessions between mid-morning and early afternoon on business days to fit into busy routines. There are some limits to what she can provide online.
She does not write letters for courts, lawyers, or medical providers, but she will help people learn to advocate for themselves when those systems are involved. Sarah encourages anyone feeling overwhelmed by life changes, parenting strain, intimacy problems, or persistent mood and anger issues to consider a short conversation to see if her style fits their needs.

Approaches you can use online with a licensed clinician
Client-centered therapy emphasizes the person's own goals and perspective, with the therapist listening, reflecting, and helping the client identify strengths and priorities. It works well for people who want a supportive place to talk and build self-directed solutions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing clearer ways of responding. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress when someone wants concrete skills to change how they feel and act.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. These tools help people manage intense feelings, reduce impulsive reactions, and improve communication.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative process means treatment is shaped to the person rather than a fixed program.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week. Video lets people read facial cues and use face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a shorter check-in, and messaging or live chat can work for quick updates or when scheduling is tight. These formats expand access and flexibility while keeping the focus on practical work and skill building.
