About Sara
Sara Irwin is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) working in Nebraska with 14 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and blended family issues among other life challenges.
Sara focuses on straightforward listening and problem solving. Sessions are practical and aim to clarify what is most pressing. She uses familiar, evidence-informed methods such as cognitive approaches and emotion-focused work to help people notice patterns and try new behaviors.
Her background includes a master's degree in community counseling from Creighton University and extensive clinical experience in both clinic settings and private practice. She has worked with a wide range of concerns including impulse control, substance use, and adjustment after loss or separation.
In typical sessions she checks what is and isn’t working, and then practices skills or perspectives that fit the client's goals. Work may include managing stress, building communication skills, addressing attachment concerns, or coping with changes that come from blending households.
Outside of practice she spends time with her family and enjoys running, travel, and reading. She also accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and situations where choices feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns and trying small experiments to change behavior. It is useful for anxiety, mood problems, and managing impulses. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current behavior, which can be helpful for parenting struggles and blended household tensions.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will review concerns, goals, and preferences together and try approaches that seem to fit. Sessions often mix techniques so practical skills and relationship-focused insights can happen side by side.
Confirm session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into day-to-day life - for example shorter check-ins during a break, sessions that do not require travel, or options that avoid being on camera when bandwidth is limited. These practical benefits help people keep continuity while they work on stress, parenting, attachment, or adjustments that come with blended families.
