Sara Licon, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Sara!

I'm dedicated to helping you develop meaningful insight, self-awareness, and personal growth. I specialize in supporting individuals dealing with PTSD, anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, and relationship problems.

My focus

I work with clients dealing with alcohol use, anger management, anxiety, behavioral issues, codependency, depression, dual diagnosis, emotional disturbance, grief, infidelity, OCD, oppositional defiance, peer relationships, self-esteem, sleep or insomnia, spirituality, stress, trauma, and PTSD.

My approach

My approach is tailored to you. Together we work to achieve personalized goals and find positive coping strategies. I provide a neutral safe space, listen to your concerns, and customize a treatment plan using CBT, mindfulness, solution-focused, and trauma-focused methods.

My communication style

My style is warm, interactive, flexible, and collaborative. I create a safe and supportive environment where you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings. Through active listening and empathetic understanding, we work together to identify patterns and make positive changes.

My journey to mental healthcare

Helping others has always been a deep passion of mine, and becoming a therapist allows me to make a meaningful difference in people's lives every day.

My goals for you

My goal is to empower you with the tools, insights, and strategies needed to overcome challenges, heal from past experiences, and create the fulfilling life you deserve. Through our work together, I aim to help you build resilience, improve your relationships, enhance self-awareness, and develop purpose.

Our first session

During our first session, we'll discuss what brings you to therapy and explore your unique story, strengths, and areas where you'd like to see change. We'll collaboratively set goals and determine the best approach to help you achieve them. You can expect a warm, non-judgmental, and supportive environment.
