Sarah Donovan

Sarah Donovan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 20 years of experience helping people through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, self-esteem struggles, and questions about life purpose. She works with clients who are facing big life changes, dealing with addictions, or coping with past trauma and abuse. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.

Her approach is straightforward. She uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills can be used to manage strong emotions and improve coping.

Sarah often combines practical strategies with conversational work. That means talking through current problems, trying small experiments, and reviewing what does and doesn’t help. She also draws on motivational interviewing to support people who feel stuck or unsure about change.

She has worked across many concerns tied to family, aging, caregiving, and relationship patterns. That background includes support around blended family issues, divorce and separation, and caregiving stress. She also addresses isolation, jealousy, impulsivity, and fertility-related distress.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session using the See online therapy options button. This process is meant to get a clear first meeting in place without extra steps.

How her approaches translate to online work

Sarah often uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on what each person brings to the session; this approach emphasizes listening and reflecting so clients can clarify their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify thought patterns and test small behavioral changes that reduce anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides practical skills for handling intense emotions and improving day-to-day coping.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. That choice can be adjusted over time based on what is helpful in sessions and between appointments.

The source biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, support shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. It also allows clients to try skills and homework between meetings and bring real-life situations into conversation. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT exercises to remote sessions to keep sessions practical and focused on clear next steps.
