About Sara
Sara Evans is an LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker practicing in Michigan with three years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, family and parenting concerns, self-esteem issues, addictions, anger, depression, and coping with life changes.
Sara uses straightforward conversation to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She asks practical questions and aims to find small changes that fit into daily life. Sessions focus on skills people can try between meetings and on clear steps to manage symptoms and problem situations.
Her work is client-centered, which means she listens to what matters most to each person and builds on existing strengths. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas to identify thought patterns that make problems worse and to test new responses. Solution-focused techniques help keep sessions goal-oriented and brief when that is useful.
Sara’s background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Family Life Education and a Master of Social Work from Western Michigan University. She has worked with teens and families involved with the criminal justice system and has experience helping people with substance use concerns and life transitions.
People who choose her often want concrete tools and clear next steps. She works in a direct, practical style and places emphasis on skills practice and measurable progress between sessions.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Sara uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns that contribute to stress or anxiety and to try practical experiments that change behavior. CBT sessions often include clear homework tasks and short skill practice between meetings.She also works in a client-centered way, which means listening first and adapting techniques to each person’s priorities. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set small, specific goals and to identify immediate steps that move a person toward those goals.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative selection can be revisited as progress is monitored.
The practical benefit of online work is fitting sessions into daily life more easily. Confirm the session formats available before booking so you know how meetings are conducted. Online sessions can make it simpler to schedule brief check-ins, reduce travel time, and allow therapy to happen around work or family responsibilities.
