Sarah Contor , LCSW

Sarah Contor is a New Jersey licensed clinician with nine years of professional experience supporting adults through life transitions and mental health challenges. As an LCSW - a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - she combines practical skills and compassionate listening to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief and depression.

She approaches each person as an individual, shaping conversations and treatment plans to reflect specific needs and goals rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method. Her practice emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she partners with clients to identify coping strategies that fit their daily lives. Sarah acknowledges the courage it takes to begin therapy and expresses pride in people who take that first step toward change.

In sessions she focuses on building tools for emotion regulation, clearer communication, and sustainable coping, with attention to impulsivity and relational stress when relevant. Her combination of clinical experience and a client-centered stance aims to create a supportive space for people working through difficult emotions and patterns.

DBT-informed Online Care and Collaborative Treatment Planning

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes practical skills for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive reactions, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It teaches concrete strategies - such as mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation - that can be useful for people coping with impulsivity, anxiety, or difficulties maintaining stable routines.

Alongside DBT skills, Sarah emphasizes individualized treatment planning that is built collaboratively with each person. She tailors therapeutic conversations and goals to match a client’s needs, preferences, and life circumstances, so the chosen approach evolves as therapy progresses and as priorities change.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility to fit care into busy schedules. Sessions can be conducted by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins are possible through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain consistency, access support from home or work, and try different modes of connection to find what works best for the client and therapist.
