About Sarah
Sarah Wall is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience. She practices from New York and brings a calm, nonjudgmental presence to sessions. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and struggles with addiction and ADHD.
Sarah uses straightforward, practical methods in conversation. She listens closely and helps people set clear goals. Her style is warm and open-minded, aimed at finding what will actually fit into a person's life.
How Sarah works
Over two decades she has supported people coping with parenting pressures, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, and big life changes. She also helps with codependency, commitment and communication problems, divorce and separation, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Seasonal Affective Disorder, social anxiety, and issues common to young adults and women are also part of her focus.
Her approach blends client-centered listening with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, plus mindfulness and motivational interviewing. Sessions emphasize skills people can use between meetings to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Sarah offers online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
She explains options and helps people choose what fits their schedule and needs. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step connects someone to her practice.

Therapeutic approaches for online care
Sarah often combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Client-centered therapy means the conversation is led by the person's concerns, with the therapist offering empathy and practical help. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at unhelpful thinking and small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and lift mood. Dialectical behavior therapy adds skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and improving communication and relationships.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about specific goals, everyday routines, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy can fit into busy lives through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls work well for full sessions and face-to-face discussion. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people send thoughts between sessions and get ongoing support in shorter, more frequent exchanges.
