About Sarah

Sarah Heyn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin with eight years of experience. As an LCSW she is trained and licensed to provide clinical social work and psychotherapy to adults facing a range of concerns. Her background includes work in a community clinic and a private Christian counseling office, along with graduate internships at UW Hospital and the VA Hospital in Madison.

She has worked with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, relationship and parenting challenges, life transitions, ADHD, LGBTQ-specific concerns, and alcohol or drug use. Her approach is strengths-based and client-centered - she views each person as the expert on their own life and aims to guide clients through overwhelming stressors and difficult symptoms. Treatment plans are tailored by combining a client’s existing strengths with practical tools from therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Interpersonal Therapy so clients leave with an actionable plan for future stressors.

When seeing clients, she typically responds to messages Monday through Friday until 2 p.m. and offers live video or phone sessions between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on business days. She is transparent about limits of online work and does not provide letters to courts, lawyers, or medical professionals, though she can help clients prepare to advocate for themselves in those systems. She is not currently accepting new clients, but her background reflects a collaborative, hopeful style focused on practical change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental partnership where the client’s own goals drive the work. This approach helps people who need support building confidence, clarifying values, and making changes at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues to produce measurable coping strategies. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides tools for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing impulsive behaviors - it can be especially helpful for people struggling with emotional regulation or recurring crises.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to understand concerns, goals, and preferences, then recommend and adapt methods that fit that individual’s needs rather than applying a single technique by default.

Online therapy offers flexibility to connect in ways that fit a client’s schedule and life - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, or mobility limitations and allow licensed professionals and therapists to deliver consistent, goal-focused support from a distance.
