Getting to know Sarah Beck

My name is Sarah Beck, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Southern California, working with clients statewide via Telehealth. I earned my Master's in Social Work from Texas State University. I work with adults of all ages and specialize in mood and stress disorders, as well as substance use, utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to assist clients in reaching their goals. My approach I believe the client and therapist are equal partners in the talk therapy process and that clients are the experts in their own lives. Within this framework, clients can access their strengths to promote positive change. My approach varies, but I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to gain a shared understanding of the client's goals and allow them to operate at a pace and manner in which they are comfortable while meeting those goals. My focus I'm passionate about working with those exposed to high levels of stress, resulting in trauma or substance use. I have been familiar with our Veteran and First Responder community for over 20 years and have a unique understanding of the challenge of finding a provider who can truly understand those experiences while remaining grounded and holding space in the moment. Understanding the logistics of rank, shift work, exposure to danger and trauma, as well as the role dark humor plays in coping, allows clients to feel confident that their provider is knowledgeable about the unique aspects and culture of their job. My communication style I strive to create an environment that fosters open and honest communication. I value allowing clients to define their own path forward while being direct and straightforward. My journey to mental healthcare I became interested in becoming a therapist when I first learned about how people think, feel, and behave across environments.
