About Sarah

Sarah Wall is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with two decades of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, mood struggles, relationship challenges, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She draws on a blend of evidence-informed methods to tailor care to each person’s needs, offering practical tools alongside empathetic listening and real-world problem solving. Sarah's background includes work in counseling, clinical social work, psychotherapy, and school social work, and she brings that varied experience to sessions with attention to both immediate concerns and longer-term goals.

Her practice addresses a wide range of issues including depression, addiction-related concerns, intimacy and relationship difficulties, sleep problems, parenting and family dynamics, anger and self-esteem, and ADHD. Sarah emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while helping clients clarify values, build coping strategies, and strengthen communication.

Her style is described as understanding and down-to-earth, focused on collaborating with clients to identify practical steps forward and create a treatment plan suited to each person’s life and priorities.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Sarah uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) regularly in online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients feel heard while exploring goals and values. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, or sleep difficulties.

She may also incorporate dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) techniques when emotional regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness are priorities, offering structured skills practice alongside supportive conversation. Together these approaches provide both insight and actionable strategies, and the therapist collaborates with each person to determine which mix best fits their needs and goals.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access care from home or other locations. These options allow for flexible pacing, timely check-ins, and multiple ways to communicate progress and challenges, helping clients maintain continuity of care while working toward change.
