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, grief, eating-related concerns, depression, and issues connected to gender and sexual identity. Sarah also addresses codependency, attachment struggles, and relationship patterns like people-pleasing and difficulty setting limits.
Sarah uses practical, evidence-based techniques and pulls tools from different approaches to fit each person’s needs. She often combines cognitive-behavioral ideas with skills for handling intense emotions and with acceptance-based strategies. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits, and on building small, manageable changes in day-to-day life.
Her background includes substance abuse and mental health counseling alongside general clinical work. Sarah earned a Master of Social Work from Stony Brook University and holds the New York LCSW. That mix of settings gives her experience with both addiction-related and mood-related concerns.
In session she encourages creativity and direct problem-solving. Conversations can include skill practice, straightforward behavioral steps, and exploration of how early attachment and family patterns shape current relationships and choices. She also supports people working with body image, eating issues, guilt, shame, and feelings of emptiness.
People who find it hard to say no or who feel defined by other people’s needs may get focused help on setting boundaries and reclaiming personal priorities. To start, readers are asked to use the site’s matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Sarah blends cognitive-behavioral ideas with skills-based emotion work. Cognitive-behavioral techniques focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. This helps with depression, body image worries, and patterns that keep someone stuck.She also uses strategies drawn from dialectical behavior work to teach concrete skills for managing intense emotions and interpersonal conflict. These skills are useful when strong feelings or relationship-triggered reactions make it hard to set limits or stay steady.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Sarah treats that as a collaborative process and will review goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what actually helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools to use and when to shift direction.
