About Sarah
Sarah Edinger is a licensed clinical social worker with more than 21 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, or life changes. She aims to be an everyday, accessible resource and offers a down-to-earth space where people can talk through hard moments without getting lost in labels.
She keeps language simple and practical. Sessions focus on what matters now - coping strategies, clearer thinking, and small steps that make daily life easier. She uses a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method and prefers to build a strong working relationship as the foundation for change.
Sarah blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered methods, and solution-focused strategies in her work. That means she helps people notice what matters to them, test different ways of responding to anxiety and panic, reframe unhelpful thoughts, and set short-term goals to see progress quickly.
Her background includes work in schools, community mental health, and private practice across more than two decades. That variety informs a practical style suited for common life problems such as parenting strain, family conflict, grief, and career stress.
People who meet with her can expect straightforward conversation, occasional teaching or skills practice, and a sense of humor when appropriate. She works from Mississippi and conducts sessions in English.
How certain approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help when anxiety or panic leads to avoidance and when people want clearer direction in life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. For panic and anxiety, CBT offers practical skills to reduce worry, change thinking patterns, and practice breathing or exposure techniques in small steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and daily life. Together they decide what to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove the need to travel to an office. Licensed professionals can guide skill practice, coach through panic technique rehearsals, and help apply new behaviors to real situations while keeping sessions focused and goal-oriented.
