Getting to know Sarah Halligan

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW). I take a warm, collaborative approach to therapy, helping clients feel supported while working toward meaningful change. I specialize in working with adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, and the challenges of aging. My approach My therapeutic approach is person-centered, compassionate, and collaborative. I draw from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based techniques to support clients in building insight, developing coping skills, and making meaningful changes. I tailor each session to the individual, believing that therapy should meet you where you are and grow with you. My focus I primarily work with adults and older adults who are experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, or caregiving stress. I have a strong background in supporting individuals through the challenges of aging, chronic illness, and loss. My goal is to create a supportive space where clients feel empowered to navigate change, build resilience, and improve their overall well-being. My communication style My communication style is warm, empathetic, and down-to-earth. I aim to create a comfortable, nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe to be themselves and speak openly. Sessions with me often feel like a supportive conversation—gently guided, collaborative, and focused on helping you feel heard, understood, and equipped to move forward. My journey to mental healthcare My journey to becoming a therapist started with a deep desire to be of service to others, especially those navigating difficult or transitional times in life. I was drawn to social work because of its focus on both individual well-being and the broader systems that impact people’s lives. Over time, I found that sitting with someone, really hearing their story, and helping them uncover their strength was where I felt most fulfilled.
