About Sarah
Sarah Strole is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting concerns, and low self-esteem. She draws on 11 years of experience to offer steady support and practical steps. Her tone is direct and compassionate for people who feel overwhelmed or stuck.
Sarah emphasizes the relationship in therapy. She believes much of the work happens when someone is heard and understood. Sessions focus on reflecting on thoughts, feelings, and beliefs, and on finding new ways to cope and move forward.
Background and approach
She tailors conversations and plans to each person's situation. That can mean short-term coping strategies or longer-term work on confidence and motivation. Sarah pays attention to life transitions, grief, intimacy questions, and identity issues, including LGBT concerns.
Her background includes work with trauma, domestic violence, postpartum difficulty, and end-of-life caregiving stress. She also supports people facing communication problems, divorce and separation, and isolation or loneliness. These areas often overlap, and Sarah aims to address what feels most urgent first.
Sessions are available in English and are provided through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She practices in New York and holds the LCSW credential, New York LCSW 083772. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule with her.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Sarah uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding what keeps problems going and teaching practical ways to change them. One common approach helps people notice and challenge unhelpful thoughts, which can reduce anxiety and low mood by shifting how situations are interpreted. Another approach emphasizes skills for managing stress and building safer ways to process trauma, helping people regain stability and feel less overwhelmed.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust as progress is made. Clients and the therapist decide together what helps most and which tools to keep using.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people read facial cues and have longer sessions, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it easier to schedule around work, caregiving, or medical appointments and to maintain momentum between meetings.
