About Sara
Sara Bice is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 16 years of experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, work through family problems, process trauma and abuse, and cope with grief and loss. She also supports concerns around depression, addictions, relationships, and intimacy-related issues.
Her approach is practical and conversational. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and solution-focused methods. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, practicing small changes, and trying different responses to daily problems.
Sara draws from mindfulness and existential ideas when people need ways to tolerate strong feelings or to clarify values and meaning. She aims to keep conversations straightforward and goal-oriented. That often means setting small, measurable steps between sessions.
She has worked with issues related to adoption and foster care, blended family challenges, and caregiving stress. Other areas she commonly addresses include communication problems, commitment issues, control issues, divorce and separation, domestic violence, and eating or food-related concerns.
Her background also includes work with cancer, hospice and end-of-life counseling, gender dysphoria, and autism and Asperger syndrome related concerns. Sessions are conducted in English in New York. International clients are not supported at this time.
How CBT, client-centered work, and mindfulness fit into online sessions
Online sessions with Sara draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns in thinking and behavior and to test practical changes. CBT sessions tend to include specific exercises, homework, and short-term goals that are easy to track between meetings.Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can clarify what matters to them. That style helps when someone needs to name values or make decisions without pressure. Mindfulness techniques teach simple attention and grounding skills to manage intense feelings and reduce reactivity during daily life.
Finding the best mix of approaches is collaborative. Sara will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences and will adjust the plan as needed. Sessions often move between talking, skill practice, and brief behavioral experiments to see what helps.

Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals use the time to focus on skill practice, homework review, and concrete planning so therapy fits into everyday life without promising particular services.
