Sarah Haberman, LICSW

Sarah Haberman is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Minnesota. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a primary approach and aims to make therapy approachable and practical for everyday life. Her sessions are warm and client-focused, with a balance of gentle challenge and support.

Sarah helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and trauma and abuse. She also supports concerns like low self-esteem, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and issues related to identity and LGBT concerns. Her work includes attention to body image, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness.

In sessions she uses CBT to identify unhelpful thinking and build practical coping skills. She also draws on motivational interviewing to support change and on psychodynamic ideas to consider patterns from past relationships. The result is a flexible mix that is tailored to a person’s needs.

People can expect straightforward conversations about what is getting in the way and small, doable steps to try between sessions. Sarah emphasizes collaboration and adjusts the pace so clients feel challenged but supported. She prioritizes clear goals and regular check-ins on progress.

Sarah has three years of clinical experience in social work and holds the LICSW credential in Minnesota. Sessions are offered in English and are available through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

CBT and Talk-Based Care Online

Sarah commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and build new coping habits. CBT focuses on clear steps you can take between sessions to improve sleep, reduce anxiety, or manage low mood. Motivational Interviewing is used to explore a person’s readiness for change and to strengthen motivation when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works together with clients to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That collaboration may mean trying CBT strategies, using motivational questions, or bringing in psychodynamic ideas about repeated patterns until the right mix is found.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is useful for more in-depth conversations and visual cues, while phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can make brief check-ins easier and fit into a busy day. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or family commitments.
