About Sarah
Sarah Bakura is a licensed clinician in Wyoming with six years of experience. She uses a collaborative style that centers the client's voice and strengths. Sarah focuses on trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.
She believes each person knows their story best and brings their own resources. Sessions aim to build practical skills and clearer thinking. Conversations focus on what matters to the client and on small steps that feel doable.
Background and approach
Sarah draws on client-centered methods to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space. She incorporates cognitive behavioral strategies to address unhelpful thinking and DBT skills when emotion regulation is needed. Mindfulness techniques are used to help manage stress and stay grounded.
Her work also addresses attachment wounds, abandonment fears, codependency, and communication struggles. For people dealing with dissociation, impulsivity, or intense shame, sessions include pacing and specific coping tools. Sarah pays attention to patterns that keep someone stuck and plans practical experiments to try between meetings.
Sessions may include talking, guided exercises, and short behavioral tasks to practice new habits. She supports people through transitions, big life changes, and the day-to-day work of feeling better. The focus is on steady progress and usable skills that fit into real life.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. Online sessions using this approach involve open conversation, reflecting what matters most, and shaping goals together to match daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thinking patterns and behavior. Online CBT often includes short exercises, thought records, and homework tasks to try between sessions to reduce anxiety or depression.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean starting with client-centered sessions, adding CBT tools, or bringing in DBT strategies for emotion regulation if needed. The plan can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short updates, skill practice, or when someone prefers not to use a camera. These options help people fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
