Sarah Goyer

Sarah Goyer is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on eating and food-related issues alongside stress, anxiety, trauma, and addiction. She brings ten years of clinical experience and aims to help people regain balance and confidence around food and daily life. Sarah writes and talks plainly with clients so they can understand steps forward without feeling judged.

She uses practical strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and patterns that affect eating and mood. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are introduced for emotional regulation and managing intense urges. Motivational interviewing helps people find the reasons they want change and build plans that fit real life.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person. Sarah meets people where they are and sets clear, achievable goals together. She also emphasizes education about why someone might feel stuck and works to replace a victim mindset with skills that increase agency and self-esteem.

Her background includes work with children, adolescents, and adults in outpatient clinical settings, and experience leading individual and group sessions. She earned a master's degree in Rehabilitation Counseling in Mental Health from Hofstra and holds LMHC and LPC credentials.

Sarah practices in Connecticut and conducts sessions in English. People who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability. The process is straightforward and intended to help clients take the first practical steps toward change.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience without judgment. It helps people feel understood and guides the pace of work toward goals they choose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, mood issues, and eating-related habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and what feels tolerable to try. That plan can change over time as progress is reviewed and new challenges come up.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support continued work between appointments by using homework and skill practice tailored to daily life.
