About Sarah
Sarah Goyer is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on anger, stress, anxiety, and addiction concerns. She works with people facing depression, trauma, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. Sarah aims to help clients regain control and feel steadier in daily life.
She uses straightforward methods in sessions. Conversations are practical and goal-focused. Sarah listens first, then helps set clear, manageable steps to reduce anger, cope with triggers, and improve communication.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques. That means sessions look at thoughts and patterns that keep problems going and try new ways of responding. She also uses dialectical behavior strategies to teach emotion regulation and mindfulness to help people calm intense reactions.
Sarah earned a master's degree in rehabilitation counseling in mental health from Hofstra University and holds both LMHC and LPC credentials. She has about 10 years of experience in outpatient settings and has worked in individual and group formats. Sessions aim to build skills for everyday life.
Sarah helps people understand what keeps them feeling stuck and build habits that support better relationships, stronger self-esteem, and more stable moods. The work is collaborative and paced to what each person can manage. She provides services from Connecticut and offers therapy in English.

Approaches that translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps clarify goals. This approach is helpful for people who need a supportive space to talk about anger, grief, or relationship stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. Online CBT sessions often include structured exercises and homework to practice new skills between meetings, which can help with anxiety, depression, and impulse control.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches specific strategies for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. In virtual sessions these skills are practiced through coaching, role play, and concrete tools for handling triggers.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and personal style. That collaborative process can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face interaction and skill practice. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text formats work well for shorter check-ins, in-the-moment coaching, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue care when in-person visits are difficult.
