About Sarah
Sarah Goyer is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and codependency. She draws on ten years of clinical work to support parents and adults who are coping with life changes, grief, relationship and family challenges, and struggles with self-esteem and impulse control. Sarah works in Connecticut and communicates in English.
Sarah uses simple, practical steps in sessions. She listens first and helps set goals that fit each person's life. She offers clear education about how past events shape current reactions and helps people shift from feeling powerless to taking small steps toward stability.
Her work blends client-centered listening with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. That mix lets Sarah address unhelpful thinking, teach emotion regulation skills, and practice new communication habits in a down-to-earth way.
Sarah also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing tools to help people tune into their values and sustain change. She can support those struggling with substance use, panic, mood disorders, and trauma-related concerns including sexual assault and abuse.
Across ten years of practice she has worked in outpatient settings with children, adolescents, and adults in individual, group, and family therapy formats. Sarah aims to make therapy practical and manageable so clients can return to daily life with clearer tools and greater confidence.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and responding to each person's needs. It focuses on understanding where someone is emotionally and helping them set goals that feel realistic and relevant. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches step-by-step tools to shift them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and mood symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with clients to choose methods that match their goals and daily life. That means trying techniques, checking how they feel, and adjusting the plan over time so it stays useful and manageable.
