Sara Bice , LMHC

Sara Bice is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, trauma, and family challenges. She works with clients who want coaching around life transitions and those navigating issues like adoption, blended families, caregiver strain, or cancer-related stress. Sara recognizes how hard it is to start therapy and aims to make the first steps manageable and respectful.

Sara uses clear, practical conversations rather than jargon. She listens first and then helps clients set realistic goals. Sessions focus on small changes that can make daily life feel easier and more manageable.

Her approach draws on several therapy styles so she can match methods to the person in front of her. Sara leans on client-centered work to build trust and on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness and solution-focused ideas are used to help clients find calmer ways to respond to stress.

With 16 years of experience, Sara has supported people through trauma, domestic violence, eating concerns, communication struggles, grief, and separation. She also works with issues such as gender dysphoria and autism-related concerns when those come up in adult therapy.

Sara offers sessions in English and provides therapy by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Her practice operates on a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How Sara blends approaches for online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on the client’s experience and priorities. The therapist listens without judgment and helps people find their own solutions, which is useful for building trust and exploring difficult emotions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress because it gives concrete tools to change daily patterns.

Existential ideas invite conversations about meaning, choices, and values during life transitions. This approach can help when people feel empty, face grief, or are rethinking important relationships.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client collaboratively decide which methods fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging is useful for people who prefer writing between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
