Sara Bice

Sara Bice is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 16 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, family problems, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, relationship concerns, intimacy issues, and life purpose questions. She also works with people dealing with adoption and foster care, autism spectrum concerns, blended family tensions, cancer and caregiving stress, and end-of-life matters.

In sessions she focuses on clear, practical conversation. She draws on client-centered work to listen and reflect what matters most to the person in front of her. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot patterns of thinking that fuel anxiety or low mood and to try small experiments that can change daily habits.

Sara also brings existential and solution-focused ideas into the room when they fit. That means talking about personal values, choices, and small, doable steps toward clearer direction. Mindfulness-based practices are used to help steady attention and reduce reactivity in stressful moments.

Her background includes long-term counseling work in New York and experience supporting people connected to military life. She emphasizes straightforward planning in sessions so people leave with one or two things to try between meetings.

People considering therapy are invited to use the site matching process to schedule an initial appointment. The work begins by naming the most pressing concerns and deciding which approaches to try first.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs a steady, respectful conversation to sort priorities and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence moods and behavior and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Existential therapy attends to questions about meaning, choice, and direction, and it can help people who feel stuck after a major life change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sara will collaborate with clients to choose which methods to try first based on their goals and what feels most useful. That choice can shift as therapy progresses, and she aims to adjust the plan together with each person.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when a full hour isn't possible, and let people meet without travel time. Therapists can also use screen-based exercises for CBT or guide simple mindfulness practices during a session to help apply techniques in day-to-day life.
