Sarah Cottone

Hi there! I'm Sarah. I'm a licensed clinical social worker providing telehealth therapy services throughout the state of New York. I specialize in helping folks who are having trouble managing social anxiety, low self-esteem, perfectionism, or anxiety across situations. I also specialize in adjusting to life changes and transitions, challenging relationships or communication issues, and navigating a new identity or sense of self.

My approach starts with developing insights and learning more about you and your experiences. We synthesize this knowledge and use it toward identifying actions for change. I use CBT, systems theory, and feminist therapies to deconstruct thoughts, feelings, and beliefs and the narratives around who we think we are or think we need to be. Then, we work together to identify and implement solutions and new perspectives.

My approach aims to help you learn and apply new skills and perspectives and renegotiate your relationship with shame, sense of self-worth, or need to be perfect and anything in between. My goal is to assist you with fostering self-compassion and competence in this world; bridging the gap between the you-now and the you-that-you-want-to-be.
