About Sarah
Sarah Newmeyer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Nevada with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, parenting strain, grief, trauma and intimacy-related issues. She also addresses challenges like attachment and abandonment, codependency, and first responder stress.
Sarah uses straightforward, interactive counseling. Sessions focus on talking through immediate problems, learning coping skills, and setting clear goals. She mixes listening with practical tools so people can try new approaches between meetings.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help manage emotional reactions and change unhelpful thinking. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy to address values, relationships, and patterns that repeat over time.
Expect sessions that include discussion, short teachable moments, and exercises to practice between appointments. Sarah frames goals with the client and checks progress as therapy continues. She emphasizes learning skills for handling conflict, parenting stress, and life transitions.
Sarah has worked across community settings and with diverse adult populations. Her background includes work with people facing complex, overlapping difficulties such as substance use, trauma, and chronic relationship stress. This experience shapes a practical focus on clear steps and measurable progress.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Sarah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions often involve setting specific goals, practicing small experiments, and using short exercises that can be reviewed between meetings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify personal values and build actions that align with those values while learning to live with difficult feelings. ACT focuses on behavioral steps rather than trying to eliminate all unpleasant emotions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds shape current responses. This work often centers on recognizing patterns, improving communication, and developing more secure ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with the client to pick methods that fit the person's needs, goals, and preferences. That choice may shift over time as priorities change or new difficulties arise.
Session formats should be confirmed before booking. The therapist's biography lists video and phone as session options, so check current offerings when you set an appointment. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people use lower-bandwidth options such as phone calls if video is difficult. Ask about format details when you schedule to match sessions to your routine and goals.
