About Sarah
Sarah Feingold is a California-licensed clinical social worker with 16 years of professional experience, practicing as an LCSW. She approaches therapy with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, shaping conversations and treatment plans to reflect each client's unique needs and circumstances.
Background and approach
Her work emphasizes practical strategies for stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem concerns while also addressing life transitions and coping with change.
Her practice blends evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-focused perspectives, client-centered listening, narrative techniques, and solution-focused steps to help people navigate issues such as panic attacks, mood disorders, isolation, family-of-origin problems, and communication or caregiver stress.
Clients seeking support for challenges like abandonment, guilt and shame, midlife concerns, or finding life purpose will find a therapeutic stance built on collaboration and individualized pacing. She acknowledges the courage it takes to begin therapy and aims to meet people where they are while working toward their goals.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Sarah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms. CBT offers structured exercises and goal-focused work that translate well to remote sessions. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore relational patterns and emotional needs, which can clarify how past relationships shape current responses and support healing from abandonment or attachment issues.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she treats it as a collaborative effort. Together with each client she assesses goals, preferences, and the nature of current concerns to determine whether CBT, attachment work, narrative techniques, or solution-focused strategies will be most useful, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy here is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access regular support without travel, while still allowing for meaningful therapeutic work with a licensed professional.
