More about Sarah
- 25 years' experience
- Female
- LICSW
As a lifelong social worker with over 25 years of professional experience, I have had the privilege to work with many different people from all walks of life. I earned my MSW at Washington University in St. Louis and completed my BSW at The Catholic University of America in Washington, DC. I have been a licensed independent clinical social worker in Massachusetts since 1997. My field placements took place in a community mental health center, an AIDS services organization, and a national reproductive health care provider. Since then, I have worked primarily in acute care and post-acute acre settings with older adults, psychiatric patients, and their families. My clinical interests include adjustment to loss, aging, disability, grief, and healthy relationships.
My treatment approach relies on a true social work perspective: the person in the environment. Approaches I consistently employ run the eclectic gamut from psychodynamic to rational emotive to narrative therapy techniques. I believe strongly in the importance of creating a safe space to consider deeply personal issues that affect the quality of our lives over time. As such, I will address whatever is on your mind in order to develop therapeutic insight and improve coping skills. This will occur at your own pace based on treatment goals we identify jointly.
I look forward to our time together and the work ahead. Welcome to BetterHelp.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I've seen a few therapists before and haven't met with Sarah for very long yet, but she is very straightforward and kind.
Sarah Wright is a phenomenal therapist. She has helped me to identify issues that have kept me stuck, and she has helped me to identify the roots of my anxiety and how to deal with them. Moreover, she is an excellent listener, and she gives very helpful advice.
Better help has been a life saver for me. Working with my therapist has given me great strategies for dealing with many personal and professional issues that have kept me emotionally stuck for a very long time.
First, Sarah is extremely caring! One of the many things that makes her an excellent therapist is that she actually listens to what I have to say. She lets me talk, and then she helps me to access the issue and think about some solutions to handle it. I also like that she validates my feelings. When I was younger, it felt as though no one ever really validated what I was feeling. Sometimes, it made me feel as if I were crazy. Through years of therapy, I've come to believe in my feelings and how to deal with them. Sarah has been a tremendous help with this.
Sarah is a compassionate and thoughtful therapist. She listens to me and gives me great advice, and I am very thankful for her. Thank you.
Sarah Wright is an excellent therapist who has helped me to understand better the issues I am currently dealing with, especially issues around putting myself first and protecting my time. She is a terrific listener, and she responds quickly to my inquiries.
