About Sarah
Sarah Wall is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, addictions, and anger. She also helps people navigating ADHD, sleep problems, and intimacy-related issues.
Sarah uses straightforward, conversational sessions. She listens without judgment and helps people work out practical steps they can try between meetings. Sessions typically look at patterns of thought and behavior, coping skills, and ways to reduce conflict at home or work.
Her background includes long-term clinical and school social work roles and a Master of Social Work from Syracuse University. Over two decades she has supported people through grief, separation, family problems, substance issues, and life transitions. That range informs how she combines different methods to fit each person’s needs.
In practice she draws on client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior ideas. She also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques when helpful. The result is a practical focus on what people can do differently now to feel less reactive and more in control of their responses.
Sarah offers messaging and live chat sessions. She checks messages during weekday hours and aims to reply within about 24 hours on business days. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches used for online work
Sarah commonly blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Client-centered work means conversations focused on the person's perspective and goals, helping them name what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thought patterns and habits and teaches practical techniques to change reactions and reduce anger triggers. Dialectical behavior therapy emphasizes skills such as emotion regulation and distress tolerance to help manage strong feelings without making things worse.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that fit the individual's needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process where skills are tested and adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Sarah offers messaging and live chat formats, so check the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow quick skill check-ins, and support short, focused conversations during a break from work. Confirm which formats are available when you sign up so you know how sessions will be scheduled and conducted.
