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 allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
