About Sarah
Sarah Moyer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who focuses on work around addictions, grief, eating concerns, depression, and LGBT-related challenges. She brings six years of experience in substance abuse and mental health counseling. Sarah creates a warm, approachable setting where people can speak honestly about what’s hard for them and begin to make change.
She uses a flexible, creative style in sessions and draws from several evidence-based techniques to fit each person’s needs. Sessions are practical and down-to-earth. Sarah helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try new coping skills, and accept what they cannot change while taking steps toward their goals.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Stony Brook University and practice under the New York LCSW credential. That clinical training and hands-on work with substance use and mental health informs how she supports people facing addiction, eating and body-image struggles, and mood concerns.
Sarah pays attention to relationship patterns such as attachment, codependency, communication, and commitment issues. She also supports people navigating gender dysphoria, kink or alternative sexual cultures, and concerns like hoarding, guilt, and shame. The aim is to match practical tools to the issue at hand so progress feels relevant to daily life.
People who choose her often want a collaborative therapist who will try different tools until something fits. Sarah frames therapy as shared work and helps clients move toward clearer values, healthier habits, and steadier emotional ground.
Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life
Sarah uses approaches drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people change patterns and clarify values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them, accept difficult feelings, and take steps aligned with their values.She treats the choice of approach as collaborative. Together with each person she checks what is helping, adjusts methods, and builds a plan that fits goals and day-to-day life. That process is about trying tools, reviewing what works, and changing course when needed.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into a busy week. It also allows shorter check-ins when time is limited and makes it simpler to meet without travel. Licensed professionals can adapt practical exercises, homework, and skill-building to an online setting so progress can continue between sessions.
