About Sarah
Sarah Feingold is a licensed clinical social worker in California with 16 years of professional experience. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She aims to meet people where they are and tailors conversations and plans to individual needs.
Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma and abuse. She also helps people dealing with self-esteem struggles, panic attacks, and life changes like separation or midlife shifts. Additional concerns she addresses include attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, and problems rooted in family of origin.
Sarah uses several clinical approaches to guide sessions, including Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She also draws on attachment-based and narrative methods to help people understand patterns and rewrite unhelpful stories about themselves.
In a typical session she listens first, then helps set small, practical goals. Conversations aim to be clear and direct, with tools you can try between meetings. She works collaboratively, adjusting pace and focus to what feels useful for each person.
Starting therapy can feel hard, and Sarah tries to make the process straightforward. She invites people to take the first step and offers steady support while they work through concerns and build new patterns.
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist reflects concerns, validates feelings, and helps people name their priorities so they can choose their next steps. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence current reactions; it helps people notice triggers and build different ways of relating.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, panic, mood struggles, and managing everyday stress by offering tools to practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit those needs. Together they decide what to focus on and what tools to try, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session formats before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling, session length, and whether video or another format helps you engage most effectively.
