About Sarah
Sarah Strole is a licensed clinical social worker in New York with 11 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, or trauma. She also supports those facing parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy.
Sarah believes much of the work happens through the therapeutic relationship. She offers steady listening and careful reflection so people can make sense of their feelings.
How Sarah works
Sessions are collaborative and tailored to each person's goals and life circumstances. In practical terms she helps people name patterns that cause distress and try new ways of coping. That might mean talking through moments that feel stuck, practicing clearer communication, or learning calming strategies for anxiety.
She also addresses specific situations like postpartum mood changes, caregiver stress, or recovery from sexual assault and abuse. Her background as an LCSW gives her experience across settings in New York and shapes a grounded, realistic approach. She aims to balance compassion with practical steps so progress can be measured and adjusted over time.
Sarah encourages anyone who is hesitant to take a small step toward support. She works with each person to set realistic goals and to pace the work according to what feels manageable.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Sarah uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to reduce distress. One common approach helps people identify and gently challenge unhelpful thoughts and beliefs, which can ease anxiety and low mood. Another approach centers on processing traumatic memories and learning skills to manage intense reactions and improve daily functioning.Finding the right fit is part of the work. Sarah will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring to sessions. That planning is ongoing and changes as progress is made.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes therapy more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues and more natural conversation. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work for shorter check-ins, follow-up, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into busy days and to keep momentum between meetings.
