About Sarah
Sarah Bakura is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wyoming with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing trauma and abuse, anger, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and life changes. Sarah emphasizes clients' own strengths and perspectives when addressing these concerns.
In sessions she treats you as the expert on your life and listens for what matters most to you. She helps people name what feels stuck and then tries focused ways to change unhelpful patterns. Typical work includes building emotion regulation skills, improving communication, and addressing shame or guilt that follows trauma or relationship problems.
Her background includes approaches that help with both thinking patterns and emotional regulation. She uses client-centered techniques to follow what a person brings, cognitive behavioral tools to spot and test negative thoughts, and dialectical behavior strategies to manage strong emotions. Mindfulness practices and elements of emotionally-focused work are also used where they fit.
Sessions tend to focus on practical steps people can use between visits. That can mean rehearsing new ways to speak in difficult conversations, trying short behavioral experiments, or practicing grounding and breath techniques for overwhelming moments. Sarah also pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns when they shape current relationships.
People who feel unsure what comes next after a big life change may find the focus is on small, clear actions. The aim is to help people move forward by linking strengths to specific coping tools and clearer decision-making.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what someone brings. It helps clarify priorities and makes space for a client to guide the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by giving concrete skills to try between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to manage intense emotions and improve communication.Finding the right approach is usually collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That plan can shift over time as skills are practiced and new problems arise.
Session format details are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people practice skills between appointments in the settings where they live their daily life. Licensed professionals commonly use these practical benefits to help people apply therapy tools to real situations.
