About Sarah

Sarah Moyer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with six years of clinical experience. She works with people facing addictions, grief, eating concerns, depression, and LGBTQ-related issues. Her practice also addresses relationship and identity stresses such as attachment difficulties, gender dysphoria, codependency, and body image concerns.

She keeps sessions practical and straightforward. Sarah uses a mix of therapeutic tools to address thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that get in the way of daily life. She values creativity in-session and is willing to try different techniques until a client and therapist find what helps.

Her background includes work in substance abuse and general mental health counseling. That experience informs how she approaches addiction and complicated grief, combining strategies for behavior change with attention to emotions and relationships.

In practice she draws on approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside systems-informed thinking about family and relationships. She aims to pull useful techniques from several approaches rather than follow a single method.

Sarah frames therapy as collaborative problem-solving. She helps people name patterns, experiment with new ways of handling stress, and set small, manageable goals. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings.

Sessions are conducted in English and she is based in New York. People who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.

BHow sessions work

Approaches used during online work and practical fit

Sarah draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is used for issues like depression, anxiety, eating concerns, and the practical steps needed in recovery from substance use.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and communication strategies. DBT techniques can be helpful for people who struggle with intense emotions, impulsive behaviors, or relationship conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sarah will discuss your goals and try different techniques to see what helps. That collaborative process means adjusting methods as needs and preferences become clearer.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as they are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people join from quieter surroundings or avoid camera use if that helps them participate. Ask about current session options when you complete the matching questionnaire.
