About Sarah
Sarah Steingiser is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Connecticut who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and ADHD. She works with individuals concerned about relationships, parenting, body image, and coping with life changes. Her tone is warm and direct, and she aims to make therapy feel practical and approachable.
Sarah brings six years of clinical experience across outpatient care, child welfare, addiction treatment, nursing homes, and extended day programs for children.
Background and approach
She has worked with people of many ages and stages. That variety shaped a flexible style that adjusts to each person's needs rather than using the same plan for everyone. Sessions are interactive and collaborative.
Sarah listens first, then helps set goals you both agree on. She uses clear tools and exercises people can try between sessions to manage anxiety, impulsivity, or low mood. Her methods draw from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, solution-focused work, and trauma-informed approaches.
She blends these to match what a person brings to therapy and to focus on concrete changes like better routines, calmer reactions, or clearer communication. Sarah emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and strength rather than labels or blame. She invites people ready to make changes to take the next step and offers steady support while they work toward more satisfying days.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience. The therapist follows your lead, reflects what you say, and helps you clarify goals and values to guide the work. This approach is useful when people want a supportive space to talk things through and find their own solutions.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and to build new habits for anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and ADHD-related challenges. Mindfulness therapy adds simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase focus in daily life.
Sarah will work with each person to find the best mix of methods. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process based on what you need, your goals, and what feels most useful in sessions. The plan can change as progress is made or priorities shift.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let you see facial cues and have longer conversations. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or people who want to write out what they are feeling. These formats make scheduling more flexible and help fit therapy into busy lives.
