About Sarah
Sarah Moyer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with six years of experience. She works with people facing addictions, LGBT-related concerns, grief, eating and food-related issues, and depression. Sarah also helps with guilt and shame, body image, codependency, attachment-related struggles, and other interpersonal difficulties.
She describes her approach as flexible and practical. Sarah uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, family systems ideas, and other evidence-based techniques. In sessions she helps people notice the thoughts and behaviors that keep them stuck and then practices different ways of responding.
Sarah values creativity in therapy and will suggest exercises or experiments to try between sessions. That can include skill practice, short written reflections, and behavioral changes to test what works. She frames work as a collaboration, discussing which tools feel useful and which do not.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Stony Brook University and work in substance use and mental health settings. Those roles shaped her familiarity with addiction-related challenges and complex emotional concerns.
Sessions are intended to be straightforward and focused on manageable steps. People often come for help sorting guilt or shame tied to relationships, past actions, identity, or grieving losses. Before booking, confirm the current session options and formats offered.
Evidence-based techniques and online sessions
Sarah draws on evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance-based techniques. Cognitive behavioral strategies focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce patterns that feed guilt or shame. Acceptance-based work teaches noticing painful feelings without overreacting, and practicing chosen values-based actions despite difficult emotions.She also uses skills borrowed from dialectical behavioral ideas to help manage strong emotions and improve interpersonal effectiveness. These skills aim to create small, doable changes so difficult feelings feel less overwhelming and relationships become clearer.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Sarah discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts the tools they try based on what helps. The process is collaborative and adjusted as needed to fit the person's needs and pace.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with Sarah about what scheduling rhythm and session length would work best for practical life constraints.
