About Sarah

Sarah Wall is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with more than 20 years of experience in counseling, clinical social work, psychotherapy, and school social work. She earned a Master of Social Work from Syracuse University and has supported people facing a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, parenting challenges, career transitions, autism spectrum concerns, substance use and gambling issues, grief and loss, foster care and adoption matters, and ADHD.

Her therapeutic manner is understanding, open-minded, and laid-back, emphasizing respect, sensitivity, empathy, and compassion. Sarah works from a nonjudgmental stance and aims to help each person identify what will work best for their life and goals. Her practice blends several evidence-informed approaches - including cognitive-behavioral and dialectical behavioral techniques as well as humanistic, psychodynamic, solution-focused brief, and rational-emotive methods - and she tailors sessions to meet each client’s specific needs.

Sarah is available for messaging and live chat sessions and checks messages twice daily, Monday through Friday, generally responding within 24 hours. Her listed office hours for responding to messages and conducting sessions are Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 5:30pm to 8:00pm Eastern Time. She welcomes opportunities to get to know new clients and to work collaboratively on practical, goal-oriented treatment plans.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options

Sarah integrates client-centered work and cognitive-behavioral and dialectical behavioral techniques into her online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathetic stance that helps people explore their values and goals and is useful for relationship, identity, and life transition concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often applied to anxiety, depression, and sleep or attention challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness and can help with intense emotions, impulsive behavior, and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sarah works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, discuss goals, and adapt methods so treatment fits the client rather than expecting the client to fit a single model. Licensed professionals and therapists often blend techniques to match what works best for an individual.

Online therapy offers flexibility - it can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - and makes it easier to schedule care around work, family, and other commitments. These options support continuity of care and allow people to access therapeutic support from home or other comfortable settings, making it simpler to maintain regular contact and build momentum toward personal goals.
