About Sarah
Dr. Sarah Leclerc helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and issues around relationships and identity. She also supports concerns like self-esteem, grief, eating difficulties, addiction, anger, intimacy questions, and the strain that comes with life changes.
Dr. Leclerc names isolation, life purpose, money worries, multicultural concerns, and self-love among other focuses she brings into sessions. She trained as a psychologist and holds the credential NY Psychologist 022745.
Sarah uses practical tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness practices, and Somatic Therapy to help people notice how their bodies, thoughts, and values connect.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth. People can expect experiments, gentle attention to sensations, and steps toward meaningful action. Sarah describes her work through a feminist and multicultural lens.
She pays attention to how racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and other social forces affect mental health. That perspective shapes how she talks about diagnoses and what feels helpful in therapy. Mindfulness and self-compassion practices are part of many sessions.
Those practices are used to help people stay with difficult feelings without being driven by them. From there, the focus turns to small committed actions that match what matters to the person. She offers online formats that include video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging.

How somatic work and mindfulness translate to online therapy
Somatic Therapy focuses on how the body holds stress and emotion, using gentle attention to breath, movement, and bodily sensation to help reduce overwhelm and increase presence for daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) combines noticing thoughts and feelings with clear steps toward living in line with personal values, which helps with anxiety, depression, and motivation. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to steady attention and respond more kindly to difficult moments.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to what matters to the person and try different techniques to see what fits. Together they will decide whether to emphasize body-based work, values-driven experiments, or mindfulness skills depending on the person’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in this work. Video calls allow face-to-face contact and movement practices, phone sessions suit people who prefer audio, and live chat or text-based messaging provide short check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain consistency while adapting therapy to a person's life and schedule.
