Sara Odom, LCSW — Therapist in Colorado

Hi there, I'm Sara!

I'm here to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can express yourself, gain insight, navigate challenges, and move forward. I blend empathy with practical strategies to help you overcome what's holding you back and grow more confident in yourself.

My focus

Are you feeling stuck in anxious thoughts, self-doubt, or low mood? Experiencing difficulty with social skills or perspective taking as a person with autism? I work with adults and young adults navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, social stress, or simply trying to find their sense of direction.

My approach

I tailor my approach to fit your unique needs, drawing from techniques like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and/or acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). These methods can help us explore unhelpful patterns in thinking and behavior and find meaningful ways to move past them.

My communication style

My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel truly heard, understood, and respected. Through active listening and gentle reflection, I offer a supportive presence as we explore your experiences and work through them together.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into mental health therapy began with a heartfelt desire to help others find strength and hope during life’s most difficult times. Throughout my graduate internships, I had the opportunity to work with adults and young adults facing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and trauma.

My goals for you

I view therapy as a collaborative process, where we work together to identify goals that feel meaningful and relevant to you, whether that’s building healthier relationships, reducing anxiety, or exploring other areas of personal growth. Your goals may naturally evolve, and we’ll adjust our approach to stay aligned with what’s most important to you

Our first session

Our first session is an opportunity to begin building a connection in a safe, supportive space. We’ll explore your background and what brings you to therapy, taking things at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Together, we’ll identify the goals that matter most to you and begin shaping a path forward.
