About Sarah

Sarah Bakura is a licensed counselor who uses emotionally-focused methods to help people understand their feelings. She holds LCPC and LPC credentials and brings six years of clinical experience in Wyoming. Her style is straightforward and respectful, and she aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.

She helps people tackle trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, and anger. She also supports those coping with bipolar disorder and major mood challenges.

Background and approach

Sessions often focus on increasing self-esteem, motivation, and clearer communication. Sarah integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy with client-centered conversations and practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. In practice this means she listens closely, helps name emotions, and works with clients to try new ways of responding to hard feelings.

Mindfulness techniques are used to build awareness in day-to-day moments. Her approach treats the client as the expert in their life story. She helps people connect their values and strengths to small, doable changes.

Progress is paced to what each person can manage in their daily routines. Sarah works by phone, video, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. She guides people through the early steps and helps them set clear goals for therapy.

For many, the work focuses on reducing emotional reactivity and improving coping skills.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and working with core feelings that drive behavior. It helps people who feel stuck by clarifying emotional patterns and trying new, more connected ways of responding. Client-Centered Therapy puts the person at the center of each session and relies on active listening, validation, and a respectful pace to help clients explore their concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is practical and skills-based, targeting thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It works well for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete strategies for changing unhelpful thinking and building new routines. Together, these approaches give room for emotional insight and hands-on tools to manage day-to-day life.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a team effort. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Adjustments are made over time so the work stays useful and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging allow quick check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options help fit therapy into work, family, and school schedules while keeping the focus on practical progress.
