About Sarah
Dr. Sarah Leclerc is a psychologist based in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, addictions, and money and financial issues. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, intimacy struggles, eating concerns, anger, and life transitions. Her approach is grounded in mindfulness, acceptance, and attention to how the body holds experience.
She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match personal values. She pairs that with mindfulness practices to calm the mind, and somatic work to attend to bodily sensations. These methods are described in everyday language and practiced in simple, concrete ways during sessions.
Dr. Leclerc brings a social and cultural lens to therapy. She names how racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and other forms of oppression affect mental health. That perspective shapes how she talks about problems and how she helps people find meaning and healing within their communities.
Her style is warm, down-to-earth, and practical. Sessions often include breathing, mindfulness exercises, noticing physical reactions, and setting small, doable steps to reconnect with valued life areas. She encourages practices that fit daily routines like mindful eating, movement, and creative expression.
Dr. Leclerc holds the credential NY Psychologist 022745 and has ten years of experience. People who choose her often look for a therapist who blends acceptance-based work with mindfulness and body-focused techniques.
How acceptance, mindfulness, and the body inform online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and for getting unstuck when life feels overwhelming.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices for paying attention to the present moment. These practices can reduce reactivity, ease rumination, and support self-compassion during stressful times.
Somatic Therapy focuses on bodily sensations and how the body stores stress. Paying attention to breath, posture, and physical cues can help people feel more grounded and make changes that feel sustainable.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels doable, then try methods that fit those needs. Sessions mix gentle exercises, short practices to try between meetings, and small steps that connect to daily life.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt mindfulness and somatic practices for remote sessions so exercises can be done during a break, after work, or around other responsibilities.
