Sara Mone, LPC

Sara Mone is a licensed professional counselor who uses clear, practical approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. She focuses on everyday struggles like low self-esteem, relationship conflicts, parenting strain, and major life changes. Her style is calm and straightforward, aimed at making coping skills feel doable. Sara combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with mindfulness and acceptance-based strategies to help clients break unhelpful patterns. Sessions often include learning simple tools for mood and behavior change, practicing new ways to talk with others, and noticing what matters most to each person. She also draws on client-centered and dialectical ideas to keep therapy respectful and balanced. With seven years of experience as an LPC in Wyoming, Sara has worked with people facing trauma, addiction recovery, and career or caregiving stress. She helps clients manage intense feelings such as anger, guilt, or shame and supports work on impulsivity, boundaries, and rebuilding trust after infidelity. Practical work in sessions might include goal setting, behavioral experiments, and mindfulness exercises that can be used between meetings. Sara pays attention to communication patterns and family dynamics that affect daily life, including blended family concerns and divorce-related stress. Her approach aims to make therapy a collaborative process. She helps people identify small, concrete steps they can take toward clearer decisions, better relationships, and more stable moods. The focus is on usable skills and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How CBT, ACT, and Mindfulness Translate to Online Care

CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and testing small changes to see what helps. Online CBT sessions usually mix conversation with practical homework, like mood logs or behavioral experiments that people can track between sessions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and to act on values that matter most. In remote sessions ACT work can include guided exercises and value-based goal setting that are easy to practice at home. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase focus, often taught in short, repeatable exercises that fit into daily life.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and suggest techniques to try. That collaborative process helps decide whether CBT, ACT, mindfulness, or a mix makes the most sense.

Online formats offer flexibility and practical access. Video calls allow two-way conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reminders or short updates. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules, caregiving roles, work breaks, and different comfort levels with being on camera.
