Sarah Steingiser, LCSW

Sarah Steingiser is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and relationship struggles. She also supports people facing parenting challenges, eating and body image concerns, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related difficulties. Her tone is warm and direct, aimed at making the first step feel less overwhelming.

Sarah uses a flexible, interactive style in sessions. She listens without labels and treats each person with respect and sensitivity. Conversations focus on what matters most to the client and on practical ways to manage difficult feelings and situations.

Her background includes six years working across outpatient services, child welfare, addiction treatment, nursing homes, and extended day treatment programs for children. That variety has given experience with many ages and life stages, and with people who have lived through physical trauma or emotional abuse.

In therapy she combines client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral and solution-focused tools, plus mindfulness and trauma-focused approaches. She adapts plans to each person's needs and mixes talking, skill-building, and short interventions to reduce distress and improve coping.

Sessions aim to help people name what’s hard, try new ways of responding, and build routines that fit day-to-day life. Sarah invites people to take small, manageable steps toward clearer goals and greater emotional balance.

How Sarah’s approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person most wants to work on. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflecting concerns and helping clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to shift them; it can help with anxiety, depression, and dysfunctional routines. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention skills and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment coping, which can help with stress and emotional overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals, needs, and life situation. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how meetings will take place. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice mindfulness and CBT skills between sessions in the places they live and work, making it easier to test new strategies in real life.
