About Sara
Sara Bice is a New York LMHC with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and offers coaching support. She speaks English and practices in New York.
In sessions she uses straightforward conversation and evidence-based methods. Sara draws on client-centered work to follow what matters most to each person. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and test small changes. Mindfulness and solution-focused tools are woven in to build practical skills for day-to-day life.
Her approach aims to make therapy useful and doable for people facing early-adult pressures. That includes leaving home, new jobs, study stress, finances, and relationship questions. She helps people talk through pressing problems and set small goals they can try between sessions.
Sara also has experience with adoption and foster care, blended family issues, caregiver stress, cancer and hospice-related concerns, gender dysphoria, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and a range of family and communication problems. She has worked with people affected by domestic violence, divorce, and commitment issues.
Practical matters are part of the work. Sessions focus on what the client wants to change and concrete steps to get there. New clients are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin the process.
How her approaches transfer to online work
Client-centered therapy puts the client's concerns first and adapts the conversation to what feels most important. This approach helps with relationship questions, life transitions, and figuring out priorities in early adulthood.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by turning insights into small experiments and practical skills.
Mindfulness therapy teaches attention skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus. It can help with rumination, grief, and intense emotions by training short practices a person can use between sessions.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than applying a single technique from the start.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not possible. They can also let people join from different locations while keeping meetings regular and goal-focused.
