About Sarah
Sarah Newmeyer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) registered in Nevada with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, relationship strains, parenting pressures, and anger. She also supports people dealing with trauma and intimacy-related concerns.
Sarah uses straightforward, interactive sessions that focus on what a person wants to change. She relies on client-centered conversation and practical tools to help people notice patterns and try new responses. Sessions often include short teaching moments to prompt reflection and practice between meetings.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to map thinking and behavior links, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) strategies for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and attachment-based ideas to look at values, connection, and long-standing relationship patterns.
Sarah has worked across community settings and with a wide range of life stages and roles. She is familiar with issues such as substance use, first responder stress, blended family challenges, codependency, and complicated grief. This background informs a practical focus on coping skills and clearer communication.
People meet with her to talk through immediate problems and to build everyday tools for handling frustration, resentment, or repeated outbursts. She invites clients to set concrete goals and to track small changes over time.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Sarah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) as core tools. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce distress. DBT provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating crises without making things worse.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas to help people clarify their values and take action even when difficult feelings are present. These approaches are practical and skill-focused, which often fits well with remote sessions that include between-session practice.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to choose which methods make the most sense based on goals, daily life, and how the client prefers to work. That decision can change as progress is made.
Confirm the available session formats before booking to match logistics to needs. Many people appreciate online options because they can fit sessions into workdays, avoid travel, or choose a shorter check-in when needed. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when a client prefers not to use video. The practical aim is to make therapy easier to fit into everyday life while focusing on skills for managing anger and related concerns.
