I have been working with Sarah for a year now and find our sessions invaluable. I would highly recommend Sarah for her kindness, understanding, communication, and her patience but most importantly her support. When I started this journey I was at the bottom of my personal staircase. Through our sessions, her guidance and support, I just keep climbing!
More about Sarah
- 12 years' experience

- LCSW
Hello, my name is Sarah, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of New Jersey. As a therapist I aim to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space in which individuals can seek help in understanding issues they are facing in order to guide them towards healthy, more balanced functioning. Grounded in a respect for each person’s unique life perspective and choices, I listen closely with a goal of working collaboratively to address individual therapeutic needs. I believe that change and growth take place in the context of the authentic relationship between client and therapist, which is based upon acceptance, compassion, and care. Additionally, I believe that distress is a part of life, and rather than having the unrealistic goal of eliminating distress, I strive to help individuals tolerate, accept, and find meaning in struggle.
I treat adults coping with depression, anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationship issues, and grief using a variety of treatment approaches based on the client’s needs, to include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) among others. I draw on Eastern philosophy in my practice and like to incorporate an element of psychoeducation by sharing articles, books, or other resources when applicable. I have a Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University, and a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee. As a clinician I have provided both outpatient and inpatient treatment, worked in psychiatric emergency services, and got my start in community mental health working with seriously mentally ill adults.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
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.

Sarah is sound and thoughtful counselor. I feel she listens and offers appreciate points of view and insights. I highly recommend her.
Touching people’s heart and holding their hands during dark times is a sacred job. Sarah is triage of a true professional, wonderful person and great listener. I love Sarah. I could not ask a better hand and a better help.
A lovely juman being before being an incredible counselor and has kept me it’s the program and has convinced me to accommodate the best j can to stay with her in a weekly basis. Incredible at what she does and she will better the lives of many
Since the age of twelve I have been in and out of therapy. I have had both positive and negative experiences. My experience with BetterHelp and Sarah DuVally Murray ranks as the best experiece yet. Not only is Sarah knowlegeble, she is compasionate and has a wonderful way of communicating. The methods used through BetterHelp with not only weekly calls/video calls, but with worksheets, journaling, and messaging has provided me with the most comprehensive therapy experience I have ever had. I highly reccomend BetterHelp and Sarah.
Sarah is the best! I am so grateful for the support and help she's provided in being more compassionate towards myself and finding ways to navigate stressful or unhappy times. She is a great listener, highly empathetic, and talking to her always helps me see things more clearly. After a few months of therapy with her I have healthier sleep habits and more self confidence, and actually came out to my parents which I never thought I could do. I highly recommend working with Sarah.
Love her!!! She has been a Godsend to me. Just when I was at my lowest, we met and it has been nothing short of excellence since. I know I still have a way to go but she has made the path a much easier. Words cannot express how much gratitude I have for her
Sarah is a brilliant listener and fresh air to frame challenges and hold your hands during dark times.
Sarah is a professional, she’s kind, and uplifting. She always comes through on time and knows how to talk to you. She’s a people person and will do her best to help no matter what your going through. She also very great at checking in and showing care. She’s the best.
In the past, I have had very negative experiences with therapy/counseling and was iffy on starting counseling again when I began my journey of self improvement. Sarah immediately made these worries disappear upon our first session. Sarah really does listen and care for her clients. Sarah listens to what I bring up in our sessions in a way that is free of judgement and makes me feel safe and comfortable. One of my favorite parts about working with Sarah is that if she is not familiar with what you are going through, she will do her own research outside of your sessions in order to better grasp your life experience. Sarah really does care very deeply about her clients and will always go out of her way to do her absolute best to provide you with the help you need in and out of your sessions.
