Dr. Sarah Leclerc

Dr. Sarah Leclerc helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and the ache of feeling isolated or lonely. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, struggles with self-esteem, addiction, eating issues, anger, and life changes. Her background includes attention to multicultural and LGBT concerns, money and purpose questions, and building self-love.

Leclerc is a New York psychologist with ten years of experience. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, and somatic approaches to guide sessions. That means clients learn to notice thoughts and feelings without fighting them, and still take steps that matter to them. She offers practical exercises to try between meetings so progress can carry into daily life.

She describes her practice as informed by feminist thinking and her Haitian background. That viewpoint keeps conversations focused on culture, history, and how discrimination can affect mental health. She invites discussion of how larger systems shape a person’s experience as part of healing work.

In sessions she often teaches simple mindfulness and self-compassion practices. She also brings attention to bodily sensations and how emotions show up physically. The aim is to help people reconnect with themselves, strengthen coping skills, and find ways to reconnect with others and meaningful activities.

Leclerc speaks English and works from New York. People who want to begin will use the site’s Start Therapy process to answer a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose small actions that reflect their values. It can support issues like anxiety, depression, and loneliness by focusing on what matters rather than only on feeling better. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple, practical attention skills such as breathing and present-moment noticing to reduce reactivity and increase calm. It is useful for stress, overwhelm, and building self-compassion. Somatic Therapy pays attention to bodily sensations and how emotions show up in the body, offering ways to move, breathe, or shift posture to change how someone feels.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to see which methods fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That exploration can include trying short practices in-session and adapting them over time based on what helps.

Confirm what session formats are offered before booking because the biography does not list formats explicitly. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow people to practice skills where they live. They can also permit shorter check-ins or sessions timed around work or caregiving. Licensed professionals and therapists often use these conveniences to help therapy become a regular, manageable part of life.
