Sally Millsap, LCSW

Sally Millsap is a licensed clinical social worker with thirty years of practice. She helps people facing grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and stress. She also supports those coping with addiction, eating concerns, career transitions, and aging and geriatric issues.

Sally keeps sessions direct and practical. She listens first, then helps clarify what matters most. She offers steady guidance for people dealing with sudden health changes, loss, or family conflict. Conversations focus on skills that can be tried between meetings.

Her background is largely in medical social work. She has experience in inpatient rehabilitation, high-risk obstetrics, neonatal intensive care, and a children's hospital setting. That work included counseling after strokes, spinal cord injuries, head injuries, pregnancy loss, and neonatal complications.

Sally has run and co-facilitated support groups for parents and families. She has worked with caregivers and people managing chronic medical conditions. Her approach values straightforward tools and practical plans for everyday life.

She trained at Graceland College, earning a Bachelor of Social Work, and completed a Master of Social Work at the University of Iowa. She is licensed as an LCSW in California. Sally has worked across several states and says she enjoys working with people at different life stages.

How her approaches fit into online sessions

Sally often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the client sets the pace and direction of work.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, needs, and personal preferences. Together they decide which methods to try and revisit the plan as progress continues.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which online formats are supported. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during a break at work or between appointments. It also lets people maintain continuity of care when life requires flexibility. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, skill practice, and grief or trauma-focused conversations to an online setting while keeping sessions practical and focused on everyday problems.
