About Sarah
Sarah Edinger is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 21 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship strain, grief, parenting concerns, trauma and related life changes.
She keeps language plain and practical in sessions. She avoids clinical labels when possible and helps people sort through problems without getting stuck on diagnoses. Sarah describes her role as an everyday, accessible resource who prefers straightforward conversation and even a little humor when appropriate.
Her approach blends several methods so sessions focus on what helps most right now. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools are used to identify patterns of thinking that increase stress or anger. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas help people notice difficult feelings without letting those feelings control actions.
Sarah also uses solution-focused strategies to set small, achievable goals and client-centered techniques that let the person lead the pace and focus. She collaborates with other trauma clinicians when deeper trauma processing is needed and does preliminary work to prepare people for those referrals.
Her background includes work in schools, community mental health, and private practice across more than two decades. That variety shapes a practical, down-to-earth style aimed at helping people manage real-life challenges.

Background and approach notes: Sarah emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as central to progress. She avoids jargon unless teaching a concept and prefers concrete steps over abstract talk. Sessions often include monitoring thoughts, practicing new responses to anger or stress, and setting clear short-term goals.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Sarah blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into practical online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce anger and anxiety. ACT teaches noticing emotions and values-based action so people can act despite uncomfortable feelings.She treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. The therapist and client look at goals and try techniques together, adjusting the plan based on what helps most. That way the work stays practical and client-centered rather than locked into a single method.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats she offers. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, let someone check in during a lunch break, or avoid travel time. They also allow for shorter check-ins when that matches what someone needs. Discuss format preferences when scheduling so sessions match your schedule and the kind of session you want.
