About Sara
Sara Bice is a licensed mental health counselor in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. She also supports people facing relationship and intimacy-related issues, addictions, and parenting or family challenges. Sara speaks plain language and focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions.
Sara works from a collaborative stance. She listens first and helps you name what matters most. Then she and the client shape short-term goals and a plan to try new ways of coping.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and grounded rather than academic or abstract. Her approach draws on existential ideas about meaning and choice, client-centered care that prioritizes the person, and cognitive behavioral tools to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Mindfulness exercises and solution-focused strategies are used when they fit a client’s needs.
The work can include talking, short exercises, and small experiments to test new behaviors. With 16 years of experience as an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Sara brings experience from a range of settings. She is familiar with concerns tied to adoption and foster care, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and end-of-life or hospice needs.
She can also support people dealing with eating concerns, gender dysphoria, and autism-related challenges. Sara offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. People in New York may find this format convenient for fitting therapy into a busy week.
To begin, users complete a short questionnaire and schedule timing that works for them.

Online support
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Existential Therapy focuses on questions of meaning, choice, and responsibility. In online sessions this looks like conversations that help people clarify what matters to them and decide on steps that reflect their values. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, listening stance where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps them reflect on their own experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can include homework and brief experiments between sessions.Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Sara will discuss goals and preferences with each person and try methods that fit their life. That process is collaborative and can shift over time as needs or goals evolve.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts in writing and fit therapy into brief moments during the day. These options make it easier to maintain continuity and practice skills between meetings.
