More about Sarah
- 5 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a licensed clinical social worker in New York and Texas with over 8 years experience working in a variety of settings and with different populations. I have worked providing therapy to children in schools, family therapy, and adults in a crisis center. I have provided treatment to individuals with a range of diagnosis including depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, and Bipolar.
I have a passion and commitment for working with adults and children who have a mental illness and supporting them to obtain their goals. My counseling style is from a strengths based approach and combines cognitive behavioral therapy with mindfulness techniques.
I encourage everyone to participate in therapy at some point in their lives. Participating in therapy can feel vulnerable and takes courage, however I believe significant growth and awareness can come out of participating in therapy. I hope to empower and help you to overcome challenges in life.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
