Sarah Dubisar, LCSW

Sarah Dubisar is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. She also supports clients facing trauma, mood concerns, relationship strain, ADHD, and the challenges of aging and geriatric issues. Sarah writes simply and listens closely to what matters most to each person.

She draws on 13 years of experience across medical social work, hospice care, emergency department social work, and grief counseling. That background means she is used to difficult moments and practical next steps. Sessions focus on concrete skills people can use between meetings as well as time to talk through feelings.

Sarah uses a mix of practical approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior. Mindfulness work builds moment-to-moment awareness. Client-centered methods keep the client's priorities at the center of the work.

She has experience with pain management, severe mental illness, crisis assessment, and court testimony, and has worked with caregivers, veterans, and people nearing end-of-life. Sarah also offers support around divorce, isolation, and questions of life purpose.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She helps people set small, achievable goals and practices during sessions. Outside of therapy she brings two therapy dogs to the office, and they often help calm and steady visits.

Approach and online therapy options

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed steps toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help people move forward around grief, life transitions, and long-term health challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can ease anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention and awareness to reduce reactivity and improve daily coping for stress, pain, and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan together based on what is most helpful. That collaborative process helps match methods like ACT or CBT to the client's needs and preferences.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people appreciate being able to bring real-life situations into sessions and practice skills between meetings, which online visits can support.
