Sara Sierra

Sara Sierra

Therapist

Virtual • Connecticut


Hi, I’m Sara. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Connecticut, and I work with teens, young adults, and families who are dealing with anxiety, depression, life changes, and relationship challenges.

I believe every human is on their own journey of growth, self-discovery, and healing. My goal as a therapist is to walk alongside you with compassion and curiosity. Together we’ll create a space where you feel understood, supported, and able to explore your story while building the tools you need to move forward.

My approach is collaborative and flexible. I often use CBT, DBT, and Attachment-Based Family Therapy, and I tailor sessions to fit your individual needs. Clients describe me as warm, approachable, and down to earth. I try to balance understanding with practical strategies that you can use in your daily life, whether that means finding ways to manage stress, communicate better, or feel more grounded.

Outside of therapy, I find balance and renewal in nature and the outdoors. That connection to growth and change in the natural world often inspires how I view the healing process in therapy.

If you’re ready to start or continue your journey, I’d be honored to support you in creating lasting growth and connection.

Frequently asked questions

Therapy Chair

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Westport

Finding the right OCD therapist in Westport starts with looking for a provider who has specific training in obsessive-compulsive disorder. Some providers use specialized approaches — particularly exposure and response prevention (ERP) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) — so a provider's experience with these methods may be worth considering as you explore care options with a qualified professional. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions in the Westport or broader Fairfield County area, or whether virtual appointments fit your schedule better.

Therapy in Westport and surrounding towns in Connecticut can be expensive, especially for specialized care. Using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most direct ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an OCD specialist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.

Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach, the populations they work with, and whether they feel like a good match. Many providers on Headway also offer a free phone consultation, so you can ask questions about their experience with OCD and get a sense of their style before committing to a full session.
