About My Clients
Teenagers, young adults, and adults who want practical, evidence-based support for anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, and persistent pain. Ideal clients are motivated to build skills between sessions (CBT, mindfulness, PRT), value a collaborative, structured approach, and want tools that improve daily functioning at school, work, and home.
My Background and Approach
I’m Dr. Sara Acker Leo, a licensed psychologist at Collaborative Health Psychology. My approach is evidence-based, structured, and skills-focused, designed to help teenagers, young adults, and adults make practical changes they can use in daily life. I draw primarily from CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), mindfulness-based strategies, and PRT (Pain Reprocessing Therapy) when appropriate. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented: we clarify what’s driving symptoms, identify patterns that keep you stuck, and build a personalized set of tools you can apply between sessions. Many clients appreciate having concrete strategies for managing anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, and persistent pain, especially when these concerns interfere with school, work, relationships, or health. You can expect a focused plan, clear skill-building, and steady refinement based on what works for you, so progress feels measurable, not vague.
