About Sarah
Sarah Moyer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with six years of experience. She works with adults on addictions, LGBT concerns, grief, eating and food-related issues, and depression. Sarah also addresses related struggles such as attachment and codependency, body image, gender dysphoria, and hoarding.
Sarah uses everyday language in sessions and prefers practical tools over jargon. She asks questions and listens closely, then tries different approaches so clients can find what helps. She describes therapy as collaborative work where she and the client test ideas and skills in small steps.
Her background includes work in substance abuse and general mental health counseling. She holds a Master of Social Work from Stony Brook University and draws on six years of hands-on clinical experience in community and treatment settings. That background informs how she approaches cravings, relapse prevention, and patterns that keep people stuck.
In practice she mixes methods rather than following only one model. Clients can expect elements of cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behavioral patterns. She also uses skills that focus on emotion regulation and acceptance to cope with distressing feelings.
Sessions are straightforward and action-oriented when that’s helpful, and more reflective when people need to understand patterns from the past. Sarah is open to creative approaches and practical exercises that can be used between meetings. To start, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to set goals and next steps.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Sarah often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and routines. That approach focuses on specific problems and offers concrete exercises to practice between sessions. It can help with depression, anxiety, body image and patterns tied to substance use.She also works with acceptance-based strategies that teach skills for noticing and tolerating difficult feelings without getting overwhelmed. Those practices aim to reduce reactive behaviors and build steadier ways of coping with grief, emptiness, or urges to use substances.
Choosing the right mix of techniques is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals and circumstances, checking in and adjusting as needed rather than committing to one model from the start.
The original profile does not list which online formats are used, so confirm session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also make it simpler to continue work during life changes, while the therapist and client decide together how often to meet and what to focus on.
