About Sarah

Sarah Moyer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in New York. She has six years of experience in substance abuse and mental health counseling and holds a Master of Social Work from Stony Brook University. She aims to make therapy approachable and calm for people dealing with depression, grief, eating concerns, addictions, and panic-related issues.

She creates a warm, welcoming space where clients can talk about difficult feelings. Sarah uses creative, down-to-earth methods rather than strict rules. She helps people notice and challenge thoughts and habits that get in the way of daily life while also recognizing what can’t be controlled.

Her work draws on several evidence-based techniques. These include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, and holistic practices. She combines tools from different approaches to match each person’s needs instead of relying on only one method.

Sarah has experience working directly in addiction and mental health settings. That background informs practical strategies she offers in sessions, such as building coping skills, improving communication, and addressing body image or relationship patterns. She also supports people exploring gender and sexual identity topics.

Clients can expect collaborative goal-setting and straightforward language in sessions. Sarah emphasizes steady, doable change and treats therapy as a partnership. To begin, readers can use the site’s Start Therapy button to complete the matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Evidence-based approaches for online care

Sarah draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy as core techniques. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy centers on building emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to manage intense feelings and prevent impulsive behaviors.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas, which help people notice painful thoughts without letting them dictate actions, and then choose values-based steps forward. Choosing the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process; she works with each person to try methods that fit their goals, comfort, and day-to-day life.

Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into busy schedules and avoid travel time. Online work can make consistent check-ins easier and allow for quicker follow-ups between appointments. The site’s booking flow asks about preferences and availability, so confirm current session options before scheduling to ensure they match your needs.
