Sarah Contor, LCSW

Sarah Contor is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New Jersey with nine years of experience supporting people through a range of life challenges. She has worked with individuals dealing with stress and anxiety, addictions, grief and loss, and depression, and she also addresses concerns related to ADHD, caregiver stress, communication difficulties, impulsivity, and loneliness. Sarah emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in her work and adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit each client’s unique circumstances and goals.

She recognizes that taking the first step toward therapy takes courage and offers steady encouragement throughout the initial stages and beyond. When appropriate, Sarah draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaching practical skills to help manage intense emotions, reduce impulsive reactions, and improve interpersonal effectiveness. As an LCSW Sarah brings clinical training in social work and therapeutic practice to her approach, collaborating with clients to develop realistic, personalized strategies for coping and growth.

DBT-Informed Online Therapy and Collaborative Care

Sarah often uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients build practical skills for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsive behaviors. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it a useful fit for people facing anxiety, impulsivity, addictive urges, and relationship strain.

Alongside DBT, Sarah focuses on collaborative, individualized treatment planning that tailors conversations and goals to each person’s needs. She works with clients to identify which methods feel most helpful and adjusts the approach over time so the therapy aligns with the client’s priorities and lifestyle.

Online therapy formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule and to connect from different locations within New Jersey. These options offer flexibility in how and when clients engage, and they allow licensed professionals to provide ongoing support that can adapt to changing needs and preferences.
