About Sarah
Sarah Wall is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting struggles, addictions, ADHD, sleep problems, and intimacy-related issues. She also lists codependency among her focus areas and addresses issues such as commitment, communication problems, and life transitions.
Her style is easygoing and nonjudgmental. She listens first, then offers practical steps to try. Sessions combine conversational check-ins with skill-building and problem-solving. Clients can expect clear suggestions and space to talk through what feels hard.
Sarah draws on client-centered therapy to follow the person's perspective. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking. She also brings elements of dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation and mindfulness to help with stress and anxiety.
Her background includes school social work and clinical social work, and her master’s degree is from Syracuse University. Over two decades she has supported people managing grief, substance concerns, ADHD, and parenting challenges. That breadth shows up in practical strategies for everyday life.
Sessions are offered in English and are delivered through messaging and live chat formats as described by her profile. International clients are not accepted. For people who keep putting others first or feeling lost in relationships, she helps identify patterns and build clearer boundaries and choices.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Sarah often combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Client-centered work means she focuses on the person’s concerns and priorities and uses that as the guide for sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and introduces practical exercises to change unhelpful habits. Dialectical behavior therapy brings concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with the client to figure out what methods fit the person’s goals and day-to-day life. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than committing to a single method upfront.
Her profile lists messaging and live chat as the session formats she offers. If you need other formats, confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people use written conversations to reflect on thinking patterns and practice skills between sessions, which many find helpful.
