About Sarah

Sarah Moyer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with six years of clinical experience. She works with people facing addictions, depression, grief, eating and food-related concerns, and issues related to gender and sexual identity. Sarah speaks English and practices with an approach that blends different therapeutic tools rather than relying on a single method.

She draws on practical techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. That can mean learning new ways to respond to urges related to substance use or to shame around body image and sexual expression. Sessions are straightforward and focus on skills you can use between meetings.

Sarah has a Masters of Social Work from Stony Brook University and has worked in substance abuse and mental health counseling for more than six years. Her background includes work with people coping with attachment concerns, avoidant personality traits, codependency, communication and control issues, and hoarding-related stress.

She uses a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when these fit the client’s goals. Sarah also considers relational patterns with Family Systems ideas when family dynamics are part of the concern.

In sessions she focuses on practical steps: identifying patterns, practicing new responses, and tracking small changes over time. People who choose her usually want direct tools to manage anxiety, cravings, mood, or eating behaviors while also talking through identity and relationship concerns.

How her approaches shape online sessions

Sarah blends a few evidence-based techniques into straightforward work online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and change thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety, depression, or eating issues going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions even when difficult feelings are present.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will discuss different techniques with the client and together decide which methods fit the person’s goals and daily life. That collaborative decision happens over the first sessions and can be adjusted as needs change.

Session format details were not specified in the original information, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow follow-up conversations without rearranging a whole day. Some people use online sessions for shorter check-ins; others prefer a standard length for deeper work. The therapist and client can pick a rhythm that fits schedules and treatment goals.
