About Sarah

Sarah Heyn is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin who centers her practice on client-centered care, combining compassionate listening with practical strategies.

Background and approach

She draws on eight years of professional experience across community clinics, a personal Christian counseling setting, and graduate internships at UW Hospital and the VA Hospital in Madison. Sarah helps adults managing stress, depression, anxiety, grief, self-esteem struggles, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, substance use, ADHD, and LGBTQ-related issues.

She emphasizes a strengths-based approach that recognizes each person as the expert on their own life and partners with clients to develop individualized plans. Sarah integrates tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused techniques, Interpersonal methods, and elements of Motivational Interviewing and DBT when they fit a client’s goals.

Her practice focuses on building skills for coping with life transitions and creating concrete action plans to respond to future stressors. Sarah maintains regular weekday availability for messaging and schedules live video or phone sessions during business hours.

She is clear about practice boundaries and administrative limits, such as not providing letters to courts or medical systems, while offering collaborative guidance on how clients might navigate those systems themselves.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Sarah often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and building practical skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related routines, and coping with life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so that the client’s own goals and strengths shape the work and pace of change.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. She will work with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, combining techniques as appropriate and adjusting plans based on progress, preferences, and goals rather than relying on a single fixed model.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provides flexibility for different schedules and styles of communication. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity between sessions, access support from home or work, and use brief messages for check-ins or skill practice between live appointments.
