About Sara

Sara Jettawi is an LPC based in Wisconsin who uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people recover after difficult experiences. She approaches each person with patience and kindness and aims to create a calm space where people can talk about what matters most to them.

Sara centers her work on attachment and the connection between body and emotion. She uses mindfulness to help people notice thoughts and feelings without judgment. Somatic experiencing tools are woven into sessions when bodily sensations relate to emotional distress.

Her practice also includes Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Internal Family Systems, and the AIP model as part of sessions. These approaches are used to reduce the hold of past events and to build more safety in daily life. Sessions move at a pace the person feels comfortable with.

Sara helps with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing relationship and communication challenges, caregiver strain, body image concerns, and pregnancy or postpartum issues.

With four years of clinical experience, she combines a calm, accepting stance with practical techniques. People who want a thoughtful, trauma-informed approach may find this style helpful.

Trauma-informed approaches adapted for online care

Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on helping people process and move forward from difficult events. It looks at how past experiences affect current feelings and behavior and uses gradual, paced work to reduce distress.

Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how relationships shape emotional patterns. It helps people understand their needs and connect with new ways of relating to themselves and others. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person's own goals and pace, offering acceptance and listening as the foundation for change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up, then collaborate on a plan. That plan can include mindfulness, somatic awareness, EMDR elements, or IFS-informed practices depending on what fits best.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. It can also make some sessions quieter or allow a brief phone check-in when needed. The therapist will help match the approach and format to practical needs and therapeutic goals.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing trauma-focused therapy does not mean a therapist holds a specific certification such as TF-CBT, EMDR or CPT.
