About Sara
Sara Cooley is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and major life changes. She meets individuals who are dealing with depression, addiction, relationship or intimacy problems, sleep and eating struggles, and parenting or career worries. Her work is direct and compassionate, aimed at making day-to-day life feel more manageable.
Sara uses practical tools from several approaches to help clients build coping skills and feel steadier.
Background and approach
She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot and shift unhelpful thinking. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take action toward them. Her style is warm and collaborative.
Sessions focus on real problems and concrete steps clients can try between meetings. She pays attention to how attachment, family of origin, and past hurt shape current patterns. Clients often bring complex concerns like panic attacks, mood disorders, ADHD, shame, or compassion fatigue.
Sara supports people working through body image, codependency, communication problems, and the pain of abandonment or isolation. She helps clients rebuild self-worth and healthier ways of relating. With five years of clinical experience, Sara practices in Colorado and works with people in English.
She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so therapy can fit into busy lives. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

Online support
Online approaches that focus on values and skills
Sara often blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take small steps toward a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks down patterns of thoughts and behaviors so clients can practice new reactions and reduce symptoms like anxiety or panic attacks.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help therapy fit into busy days and different lifestyles while keeping the focus on steady, skill-based progress.
