About

Sarah (she/her) Smith is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Connecticut with 14 years of professional experience. She supports people coping with stress and anxiety, grief and loss, motivation and self-esteem challenges, confidence building, and career-related difficulties.

Sarah operates from the belief that each person is the expert of their own story and brings existing strengths to the therapeutic process. She acknowledges that beginning or returning to therapy takes courage and affirms clients for taking that step toward change.

Sarah uses a variety of treatment approaches including grief therapy, role play, cognitive behavioral therapy, stress and crisis management, communication and social skills building, and trauma-informed care. She also welcomes clients who wish to include faith, religion, or spirituality in their work.

Is Online Therapy the Right Fit for Your Needs?

For many common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes - online therapy can be an effective option and has been shown to perform similarly to traditional in-person therapy for these issues.

A key benefit is flexibility. Individuals can connect with a therapist in the format that works best for them - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.

Licensed professionals provide online therapy, and clients have the option to switch therapists at any time if they want a different fit. This approach allows people to find the style and support that best match their needs while receiving professional care.
