About Sarah
Sarah Steingiser is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people manage anxiety, stress, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. She supports people coping with trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, attention differences such as ADHD, and struggles with self-esteem and body image. Sarah writes in a warm, direct way and meets people where they are without judgment.
She uses a conversational, interactive style in sessions. That means she listens closely and then works with each person to set practical goals. Treatment plans are adapted to individual needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all script.
Sarah has worked across outpatient settings, child welfare, addiction treatment, nursing homes, and extended day programs for children. She has experience with a wide age range of clients and has supported people after physical trauma and emotional abuse.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. In practice she blends these methods to address symptoms and day-to-day coping skills, like reducing panic, managing anger, or improving communication.
Sarah aims to create a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate space for change. She avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on practical steps people can take to feel more stable and connected in their lives. If someone is ready to make changes, she offers steady support and collaboration.
Approaches and online therapy that focus on skills and healing
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist follows the person's lead and helps clarify what matters most. This approach suits people who want an empathic listener and collaborative goal setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on addressing the effects of trauma and building coping tools to reduce its day-to-day impact.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help figure out which methods fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That process is collaborative and may blend techniques from different approaches to match what is most helpful.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce time spent traveling, and allow more flexible check-ins during lunch breaks or between commitments. It can also make some sessions shorter or less focused on video if that suits someone better. Talk with the therapist about practical arrangements and what will work best for everyday life.
