About Sara
Sara Bice is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people facing stress and anxiety. She supports people working through trauma, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and struggles with addiction. Her background also includes coaching and addressing family-related challenges.
Sara adapts conversations and plans to match each person's situation. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps rather than vague talk. She aims to be respectful and compassionate while keeping things straightforward and useful.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on client-centered principles that make the client's experience central. Cognitive behavioral ideas are used to identify thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are included to build coping skills and small changes that add up.
With 16 years of professional experience, Sara brings steady, calm guidance to difficult moments. She has worked with issues connected to adoption and foster care, blended family tensions, caregiver stress, and life-stage challenges such as cancer and end-of-life concerns. She also addresses topics like communication problems, commitment worries, and gender dysphoria.
Sara offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. People can expect a collaborative process where goals are set together and progress is reviewed often. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Sara blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people feel heard while tackling the thoughts and behaviors that fuel anxiety. Client-centered work focuses on listening, building understanding, and shaping sessions around the person's priorities. CBT helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical skills for changing reactions and behavior.She also uses solution-focused and mindfulness strategies to add short-term, concrete tools. Solution-focused work narrows attention to small, achievable steps that lead toward the client's goals. Mindfulness offers simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment coping.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods fit best based on goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up. Adjustments are made over time so sessions stay useful and relevant.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a low-bandwidth or short-break check-in. Live chat or text messaging work well for quick updates, brief coaching, or when typing feels easier than talking. These formats offer flexibility to schedule care around work, family, and daily life.
