About Sarah
Sarah Wall is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with two decades of experience in counseling and clinical social work. She practices from New York and brings a calm, down-to-earth style to sessions. She aims to help adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the ups and downs of parenting.
Sarah uses practical, straightforward methods to help people problem-solve. She combines client-centered work with cognitive-behavioral ideas and skills drawn from dialectical behavior therapy.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and motivational interviewing also appear in her sessions when they match a person’s needs. She has worked across school social work and clinical settings, giving her experience with life transitions, relationship strain, addiction concerns, and attention-related challenges. Sarah describes her approach as empathetic, nonjudgmental, and flexible.
She focuses on what will help someone move forward rather than on labels. In sessions she listens first, then helps set small, achievable goals. That can mean practicing new coping skills, reworking unhelpful thoughts, or planning concrete steps for parenting challenges.
She adapts tools to each person’s daily life and routines. Sarah offers multiple ways to connect, including scheduled video or phone sessions and written exchanges. She encourages people to reach out when they want to explore emotional pain, communication problems, or decisions about relationships and parenting.

How evidence-based approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s perspective. The therapist reflects feelings and priorities so clients feel heard and can decide what matters most to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for handling strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match goals, daily life, and comfort level. That may mean combining approaches and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions remove the need for video, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit quick check-ins, mood tracking, or shorter exchanges between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, handle brief setbacks, and practice skills in real time.
