About Sarah

Sarah Moyer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in New York. She helps people facing addictions, grief, depression, and eating and food-related issues. She creates a warm, nonjudgmental space so people can bring difficult topics and start making changes.

Sarah holds a Master of Social Work from Stony Brook University and has six years of experience in substance abuse and mental health settings. She uses a mix of approaches rather than a single method. That lets her tailor sessions to each person's needs and goals.

In sessions she focuses on practical steps people can try between meetings. She helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts, practice new coping skills, and make choices that match their values. She also supports people in accepting what they cannot change while working on what they can.

Sarah often combines techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, and holistic approaches. She prefers to pull tools from different methods to build an individualized plan that fits each person.

People meet her for straightforward conversations about body image, codependency, shame, substance use, and other concerns related to eating and well-being. She aims to be part of the ongoing support someone needs while they do the hard work of change.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy

Sarah commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in short, clear ways. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that move a person toward the life they want.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past, and then suggest which tools to try. This is a collaborative process that can shift as a person's needs change.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to schedule sessions around work, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when needed. It can also let someone pick approaches that fit their day-to-day life, like practicing behavioral experiments between sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to an online setting so progress continues between meetings.
