About Sarah Heyn
Sarah Heyn is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin who brings a calm, strengths-based approach to counseling. She combines several years of clinical experience in a community clinic and a private Christian counseling office with two years of graduate internships at UW Hospital and at the VA Hospital in Madison. Over that time she has supported adults facing depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, life transitions, ADHD, LGBTQ-specific issues, and challenges related to alcohol or drug use.
She practices with respect and a client-centered stance, viewing each person as the expert on their own life. Her role is to guide clients through periods of stress or intense symptoms, helping them apply their existing strengths alongside therapeutic tools. Treatment draws on techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Interpersonal Therapy to shape a plan tailored to each person’s goals.
Before concluding work together, she aims to help clients leave with a practical action plan they can use when future stressors arise. She emphasizes balance between work and family life and models that value in her own schedule. On this platform she responds to messages Monday through Friday until 2 p.m.; messages sent in the evening or on Sunday are prioritized first thing the next business morning. She is available for live video or phone sessions between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on business days.
Sarah is transparent about limitations of the online format. She is not able to write letters to courts, attorneys, or medical professionals, but she can help clients develop strategies to advocate for themselves within those systems from a therapeutic standpoint. Taking the step to seek support is an important move toward change, and she welcomes the opportunity to work collaboratively toward each client’s goals.
