About Sarah
Sarah Steingiser is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with six years of experience based in Connecticut. She works with adults coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting strains, trauma or abuse, grief, and attention-related challenges like ADHD.
She uses a straightforward, interactive style in sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what practical steps can help. She draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral tools to address thoughts, behaviors, and relationship patterns.
Her background includes outpatient care, child welfare, addiction treatment, nursing homes, and extended day treatment programs for children. That variety has shaped a flexible way of working with people who present different life circumstances and levels of need.
In practice she also integrates mindfulness and solution-focused approaches to support coping and short-term goals. Trauma-focused methods are used when people bring histories of physical trauma or emotional abuse and want to process those experiences.
Sessions tend to emphasize clear communication, concrete strategies, and paced exploration of difficult feelings. She respects each person’s story and adapts conversations to focus on parenting challenges, blended family stress, attachment issues, caregiving strain, or relationship conflict as raised by the client.
To begin, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial appointment. Fees vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's concerns and goals. It means the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s priorities, helping people clarify what matters and choose next steps. This approach supports issues like relationship worries, parenting stress, and self-esteem struggles.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change patterns that feed anxiety, depression, anger, or impulse control problems. CBT is useful for common daily struggles and for working through disruptive thinking.
Mindfulness-based techniques teach simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These tools can help with stress, overwhelm, and coping when emotions feel intense.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can change over time as progress is made or new concerns come up.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals use these formats to support consistent, practical progress without changing what is discussed in sessions.
