About Sarah

Sarah Contor meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps they can use right away. She is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - practicing in New Jersey with nine years of experience. Her style is straightforward and respectful, aimed at helping people feel steadier when life feels overwhelming.

She helps with stress and anxiety by teaching simple coping skills that can be used during hard moments.

Background and approach

She supports people working through depression, grief, and problems tied to addiction by building small, manageable goals. When attention or impulsivity is part of the challenge, she uses structured skills to reduce overwhelm and improve daily routines. Sarah pays attention to caregiver stress, communication breakdowns, and isolation.

Sessions focus on concrete strategies for handling burnout, improving how people talk with others, and reconnecting when loneliness feels heavy. She adapts conversations and plans to fit each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all script. Her clinical approach includes Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - which combines skill teaching with problem solving.

Over nine years she has worked in settings that shaped her focus on practical tools and compassionate listening. She describes beginning therapy as a brave step and aims to make follow-up sessions clearer and more doable. To get started, a short questionnaire is used to match people to a therapist, and then sessions can be scheduled to suit individual timing and preferences.

Sarah offers several online formats so people can choose what works best for their life.

Approaches Sarah names

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

DBT-informed care and online therapy options

Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - focuses on teaching concrete skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive actions. It uses short, repeatable strategies like breathing, distraction, and problem-solving to help during moments of high stress. This approach can be useful for anxiety, mood swings, impulsivity, and challenges with addictive urges.

In sessions she emphasizes skill practice and step-by-step problem solving. Finding the right method is part of the work together; the therapist will help choose which DBT skills or other approaches match a person's goals and daily life. This is a collaborative process where goals and techniques are adjusted over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful when face-to-face interaction matters, phone sessions can be chosen when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and messaging or live chat can fit tight schedules or provide quick skill reminders. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and other commitments.
