About Sarah
Sarah Moyer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in New York. She has six years of experience in substance abuse and mental health counseling and holds a Master of Social Work from Stony Brook University. She focuses on concerns such as addictions, grief, eating and food-related issues, depression, and LGBTQ-related matters.
She aims to make sessions warm and welcoming so people feel comfortable bringing hard things to talk about.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and creative when needed, with an emphasis on challenging unhelpful thoughts and behaviors while accepting what can’t be changed. Sarah uses a mix of approaches to tailor work to each person’s needs rather than one fixed method.
Her practice addresses attachment struggles, feelings of emptiness, codependency, body image and hoarding, as well as relationship and communication problems and commitment or control issues. She also supports people navigating gender dysphoria and those involved in BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture when these relate to distress.
Sarah’s background includes focused work in drug and alcohol addiction and broader mental health counseling over several years. She draws on a range of therapeutic tools to build individualized plans and to help people develop skills they can use between sessions. People who choose her can expect practical strategies, collaborative goal-setting, and room to explore painful emotions.
She values creativity in sessions and aims to be a steady support as clients make changes in their lives.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Sarah uses a mix of evidence-based techniques to meet different needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for depression, anxiety, and problematic eating patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful feelings without getting stuck and to act in ways that match their values, which can help with grief, substance use, and ongoing shame.She approaches planning collaboratively. The right mix of techniques is decided together based on your concerns, goals, and what feels most comfortable. That means trying tools, checking how they work, and shifting course when something isn’t helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels important. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, ongoing support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, parenting, or travel schedules while keeping care consistent.
