About Sarah
Sarah Heyn is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin who focuses on thoughts and everyday habits that shape daily life. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, substance use, ADHD, grief, and LGBTQ issues. She aims to be a practical, steady guide when life feels overwhelming.
She draws on a strengths-based, client-centered approach and views each person as the expert in their own life. Sessions combine personal strengths with concrete tools from therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Interpersonal Therapy. The goal is to build a clear action plan for managing future stressors.
Her background includes over eight years of clinical experience across community clinics and private counseling, plus graduate internships at a university hospital and a VA hospital. That mix of settings shaped a practical style focused on real-world coping and everyday habits that support wellbeing.
Sarah prioritizes straightforward communication and predictable availability. She responds to messages Monday through Friday until 2 p.m. and typically answers evening or weekend messages first thing the next business morning. She offers live video or phone sessions between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on business days.
There are some limits to what can be done online. She does not write letters for courts, lawyers, or medical professionals, but will discuss how to advocate for yourself with those systems. The first step is sharing where you are now and what you want to change, then building small, manageable habits to get there.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building on a person’s strengths. It helps people clarify goals and feel understood while they try new everyday habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and habit change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which tools to use based on needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean trying CBT techniques for thought patterns, then adding client-centered check-ins to keep the plan anchored in what matters most to the client.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video or phone sessions can reduce travel time and let people schedule sessions during a lunch break or between commitments. Before booking, confirm which session formats are currently offered, since specific options can vary. The focus remains on practical strategies for daily habits and thoughts, so therapy can be integrated into ordinary routines without promising a particular service.
