About Sarah
Sarah Contor is a New Jersey licensed clinical social worker with nine years of practice. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress or anxiety and those struggling with grief, depression, or addictive behaviors.

She uses straightforward, practical language in sessions. Conversations are shaped around the problems you bring and the goals you want to reach.
Background and approach
Sarah adapts the pace and structure so people can try new coping skills and notice what helps. Her work often addresses day-to-day pressures that wear people down, like caregiving stress, isolation, trouble communicating, and impulsive behavior. Sarah supports people navigating the drive to change while managing difficult emotions and urges.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, informs much of her approach. That means teaching specific skills for managing intense feelings, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. Sessions blend skill practice with discussion about how those skills fit into ordinary life.
She encourages small, doable steps and checks in on what’s working. The tone is respectful and direct, with an emphasis on real strategies someone can use between appointments.
DBT-informed care delivered online
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, often called DBT, teaches concrete skills for handling intense emotions and strong urges. It emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better ways to respond when feelings feel overwhelming. People use these skills to reduce impulsive reactions and manage cravings or urges.In sessions Sarah helps clients practice those skills in real situations. She works collaboratively to find which techniques fit a person's life and goals. Figuring out the best way of working together is part of the early work, and adjustments are made as progress or challenges appear.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let you have a more face-to-face experience, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you need a quick check-in. Live chat and messaging are useful for short updates, skill reminders, or when typing feels simpler than speaking. These formats provide flexibility so therapy can fit around work, caregiving, or other daily demands.
