About Sarah
Dr. Sarah Leclerc helps people facing stress and anxiety find clearer ways to cope. She also supports concerns such as trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, self-esteem struggles, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, eating concerns, anger, and major life changes.
Her approach is practical and grounded in everyday life. Dr. Leclerc uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, and somatic practices to help people notice their thoughts, feelings, and body sensations.
She encourages small actions that match personal values, even when emotions feel intense.
Background and approach
Sessions include simple breathing, present-moment awareness, and gentle body-based exercises. She brings a cultural and feminist perspective to sessions and pays attention to how racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and other systems affect mental health. That means conversations can include how outside pressures shape choices and feelings, not just what happens inside the mind.
Clients can expect a conversational style that mixes reflection with practical steps. Dr. Leclerc often focuses on building self-compassion, improving daily routines, and reconnecting with meaningful activities.
Work may include planning small value-driven actions and practicing mindful presence in ordinary moments. Her practice is informed by ten years of experience as a psychologist in New York. She speaks English and offers a range of online session formats to fit different needs.
Dr. Leclerc aims to make therapy feel like a place to learn, try new habits, and notice gradual change.
ACT, Mindfulness, Somatic Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and taking small steps that match what matters most. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and motivation by pairing acceptance with value-driven actions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills such as focused breathing and present-moment noticing to reduce reactivity and build calm during stressful moments. Somatic Therapy pays attention to bodily sensations and gentle movement or grounding exercises to release tension and reconnect the body with emotions.Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, try different techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps. Sessions often blend ACT, mindfulness, and somatic exercises so people can test what feels useful for their life and pace of change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and somatic guidance, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between scheduled visits. This mix lets people fit therapy into busy lives, maintain momentum, and practice new skills in real time.
