Sarah Bakura

Sarah Bakura is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wyoming with six years of experience. She works with people facing trauma and abuse, anger, depression, stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and major life changes. Sessions are presented in a straightforward way and focus on what the client brings to therapy.

She approaches therapy from several evidence-informed styles, including Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness Therapy. That mix lets her address strong emotions, relationship patterns, coping skills, and everyday thinking that contributes to distress. She treats emotional responses and behavior together so clients can notice patterns and try new ways of responding.

In a typical session she listens to what’s most pressing, helps name difficult feelings, and works with practical skills when needed. This might include looking at thoughts that keep someone stuck, practicing grounding and mindfulness, or learning skills that reduce impulsive reactions. Conversations are direct and focused on helping clients manage symptoms and make concrete changes.

She also pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, control and dependency issues, and experiences of isolation. These themes often come up alongside trauma, mood disorders, and relationship strain, and are addressed through emotion-focused exercises and skills training.

Clients work together with her to set goals and track progress. She asks questions, offers tools, and checks in about what is helping. People who choose her typically want practical ways to feel steadier and clearer about their next steps.
