Sara Da Silva is a licensed clinical social worker and a certified clinical addiction specialist who practices in North Carolina. She provides psychotherapy for adults aged 18 and older as well as for the geriatric population, drawing on three years of clinical experience.
She values a collaborative therapeutic relationship and takes time to learn each person’s story. Sara works side by side with clients to teach practical tools and coping strategies that support navigating difficult moments and life transitions. Her approach is warm and interactive, solution-focused, strength-based with positive psychology influences, and consistently non-judgmental.
Sara’s experience spans a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression and other mood disorders, substance addictions involving alcohol and illegal drugs, relationship and family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating disorders, anger management, self-esteem challenges, career difficulties, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. She has also worked with mild presentations on the autism spectrum, emotional issues related to physical disability, and acute or chronic medical conditions in older adults, as well as environmental changes such as moving into assisted living or the loss of a loved one.
Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online can really help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been found to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person treatment for most individuals.
One of the main benefits is flexibility - you can connect with a therapist in the format that fits your routine and comfort level, whether that is a video session, a phone call, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility often makes it easier to keep consistent appointments and integrate therapy into a busy life.
All therapists involved are licensed professionals, and if you decide another approach or therapist would be a better fit, you can switch at any time. Online therapy can be a practical option for addressing everyday mental health concerns while offering multiple ways to engage with professional support.
