About Sarah
Sarah Sivertsen is a licensed clinical social worker in Indiana with nine years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self esteem, depression, or problems with addictions. She focuses on practical steps people can use each day and on building motivation to keep going.
Sarah believes each person knows their own story best. She looks for strengths a person already has and uses those as a starting point.
Background and approach
That approach helps people feel more capable of facing challenges and making change. Her style is straightforward and supportive. Sessions are about talking through what is happening now, sorting what matters most, and finding small, doable steps forward.
She aims to make therapy feel manageable instead of overwhelming. Sarah also helps people navigate larger life changes. She guides conversations about priorities, coping strategies, and rebuilding confidence during transitions.
The work often includes practical problem solving alongside emotional support. People who do best with her tend to want clear, real-world tools and a steady partner in the process. She supports clients as they set realistic goals and practice new habits between sessions.
That steady, step-by-step focus is central to her approach.
Approaches that fit online care
Sarah uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear goals and practical skills. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns to reduce anxiety and low mood, teaching ways to notice thoughts and try different responses. Another approach emphasizes building everyday routines and coping skills to manage cravings, stress, and motivation, which is useful for addictions and adjustment to life changes.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they will try strategies, review what helps, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can be used for brief check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between appointments.
