About Sara
Dr. Sara Lewis-Stankus welcomes people who are tired of feeling stuck and ready to build more confidence. She speaks plainly and listens closely to what matters most. Her approach focuses on practical steps that help people manage anxiety, reduce stress, and rebuild self esteem so they can move toward clearer goals.
She creates a nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through fears, doubts, and repeating patterns. Sessions focus on identifying what gets in the way, trying new ways of coping, and developing skills to deal with challenges like career concerns and relationship problems. Progress is framed as steady work rather than quick fixes.
With 26 years of experience, she draws on several approaches to tailor care to each person. These include client-centered work that follows the person's pace, cognitive behavioral techniques to reshape thinking and behavior, and tools from dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation. She also uses methods aimed at processing past hurts and improving communication in close relationships.
Her training is listed as LPC, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, and LMHC, Licensed Mental Health Counselor. She practices in West Virginia and works in English. International clients may be accepted; check session options when you schedule.
To get started, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability. Sessions are set up so clients can fit therapy into everyday life while working toward clearer, more confident choices.
