About Sarah

LMHC (New York) and LPC (Connecticut) with 10 years of experience, Sarah Goyer supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, parenting strain, relationship and family issues, and mood concerns including bipolar disorder. She works with a broad range of problems such as self-harm, panic attacks, substance use, body image, and communication or control issues. Sessions are conducted in English and she practices in Connecticut.

Sarah uses practical conversations to identify what matters most to each person. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness practices, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-focused ideas to shape sessions. Her aim is to help clients learn skills and make changes that fit daily life.

In sessions she offers clear education about how past events affect feelings and behaviors. She helps people reframe victim narratives into actionable steps for self-esteem and coping. Work often includes skill teaching, behavior experiments, and mindful awareness exercises.

She has treated people across outpatient settings and has worked with children, adolescents, and adults in individual, group, and family therapy contexts. Sarah emphasizes collaboration: clients and therapist set goals together and track progress with concrete steps.

Practical concerns like parenting, career stress, grief, and relationship patterns are addressed with behavioral strategies, motivational conversations, and mindfulness tools. Readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking.

How therapy approaches guide remote sessions

Sarah commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize each person’s concerns and strengths; this approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and shaping goals based on what the client says matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors through simple exercises between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when intense feelings or impulsivity are present.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will discuss options and try methods that fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps clarify which skills and strategies are most useful for everyday challenges.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises for remote work, such as guided mindfulness practices, behavioral homework, or brief skills coaching to use between appointments.
