Sarah Goyer, LMHC, LPC

Sarah Goyer is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with ten years of clinical experience. She practices in Connecticut and works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, relationship and family issues, grief, parenting, and career challenges.

She favors a straightforward, practical approach. Sessions focus on clear goals and skills people can try between meetings. Sarah uses methods like cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and client-centered work to help people manage emotions and make different choices.

In session she talks through what led someone to seek help and what getting better would look like for them. She offers education about common reactions to trauma and about patterns that can keep people feeling stuck. Sarah frames difficulties as problems to work on rather than fixed identities.

Her background includes a master's degree in Rehabilitation Counseling in Mental Health from Hofstra and ten years treating people in outpatient settings. She has experience with individual therapy, group therapy, and family-based work, and has supported people who face co-occurring issues such as mood disorders, substance use, and impulse control challenges.

Sarah aims to collaborate on practical steps for reducing anger, improving communication, and building self-esteem. She encourages clients to practice skills during daily life and to check progress regularly so goals can be adjusted as needed.
