Sarah Goyer

Sarah Goyer is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, addiction, and the effects of trauma. She uses straightforward, practical work to support people facing depression, relationship and family problems, parenting strains, grief, and self-esteem concerns. Sarah brings a decade of experience to sessions and speaks English for all work.

She trained at Hofstra University and holds a master’s degree in Rehabilitation Counseling in Mental Health. Her credentials include LMHC and LPC and she practices in Connecticut. Over ten years she has worked in outpatient settings with children, adolescents, and adults, using individual and group approaches.

In sessions she aims to meet each person where they are. She helps clients set realistic goals and builds steps to reach them. Education about how past experiences shape reactions is part of the work, including reclaiming a sense of agency after trauma or loss.

Sarah draws on several practical methods such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral techniques, and dialectical behavior skills to address impulsivity, addiction, panic, and mood concerns. Mindfulness skills and trauma-focused approaches are used when they fit the client’s needs.

Her style is down-to-earth and collaborative. She focuses on concrete tools people can use between sessions. The emphasis is on strengthening coping skills, reducing destructive patterns, and supporting a steadier, healthier daily life.

How Sarah’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person’s own goals. It helps people feel heard and work out what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect behavior and mood and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills useful for impulsivity and intense emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She often combines techniques and adjusts the plan as progress is made so the work stays relevant and useful.

Confirm the session formats before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy weeks, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins when needed. It can also let someone use shorter sessions or phone options when attention or bandwidth is limited. Ask about the specific session options available when you start the process so scheduling matches everyday life.
