About Sarah
Sarah Wall is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 20 years of clinical and school social work experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting difficulties, addictions, sleep problems, and ADHD. Her practice also addresses intimacy concerns, anger, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and issues many parents and adult children recognize at home.
Sarah uses a direct, down-to-earth approach in sessions. She combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy methods, along with mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques. In practice this means talking through specific problems, trying small behavior changes, and learning skills for managing strong emotions.
She has long experience helping people handle family problems such as communication breakdowns, codependency, commitment worries, and the fallout from separation or divorce. She also supports people working through guilt, shame, emptiness, and isolation. Those dealing with seasonal mood shifts, social anxiety, or young adult transitions are within her focus areas.
Sessions are presented in a practical, conversational style. Sarah aims to figure out concrete next steps with each person she sees, rather than prolonged theory. That can include short skills work, structured exercises, and planning for changes at home.
She conducts work in English and practices from New York. The cost varies by location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the individual. It helps when someone needs space to talk through relationship or parenting worries and set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and introduces small experiments and exercises to reduce anxiety or improve sleep. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication in strained relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She will work together with each person to decide which methods feel most useful based on concerns, goals, and what fits into daily life. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed.
Session formats listed in the original profile are messaging and live chat. If you need a different format, confirm options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work, and other obligations since they remove travel and can allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use these methods to focus on practical skills, problem solving, and planning changes that happen at home.
