About Sarah
Sarah Bakura is an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) and an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Wyoming with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on trauma and abuse, anger, depression, stress, anxiety, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. Sarah explains that clients know their own stories and brings that perspective into sessions.
She uses straightforward, person-focused work. Conversations aim to identify what feels most urgent and what skills would help right now. Sessions often include practical strategies and chances to try new ways of responding to difficult emotions.
Sarah works with patterns that come from attachment wounds, abandonment, and codependency. She also addresses issues like communication problems, control and impulsivity, dissociation, and isolation. When mood conditions such as bipolar features or disruptive mood dysregulation show up, she helps people build everyday routines and coping plans that reduce overwhelm.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior tools. Mindfulness practices and emotionally focused ideas are included when they fit the person's needs. The emphasis is on clear, usable skills rather than complex theory.
People who meet with her can expect conversations that move between understanding past experiences and practicing new responses. If someone is weighing first steps, she asks simple questions about what they want to change and what would feel manageable to try first. Booking begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and clarifying what matters most to the person. In sessions she reflects concerns, helps people name priorities, and co-creates goals so work stays relevant to daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with depression, anxiety, and stress by giving step-by-step tools to try between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. That means checking in about what feels useful, adjusting techniques, and setting small, achievable targets together.
Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking, since options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, require less travel, and allow shorter check-ins when time is tight. It also lets people practice skills in the environments where they live and study, which can make new habits stick. Licensed professionals will discuss the best session length and cadence for each person's situation.
