About Sarah
Sarah Edinger is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 21 years of practice experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, mood concerns, trauma and abuse, and questions about life purpose. Sarah also supports those coping with ADHD, bipolar symptoms, anger, and career-related uncertainty.
She adopts a straightforward, down-to-earth style in sessions. Sarah avoids heavy clinical language unless explaining a concept. She values the working relationship and uses that connection to help people talk through what feels stuck or overwhelming.
Her approach pulls techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy. In practice this looks like clarifying values, noticing unhelpful thoughts, trying new behavior experiments, and setting small, practical goals. She may also do preliminary work before trauma processing and coordinate with trauma specialists when needed.
Sarah’s background includes work in schools, community mental health, and private practice over two decades. That experience informs how she helps people manage caregiver stress, family of origin issues, communication problems, and the practical strains of parenting and adoption or foster care situations.
Sessions are conversational and pragmatic. People can expect questions, reflections, and concrete tools to try between meetings. She believes diagnosis should not gatekeep access to help, while recognizing documentation may be required by insurance.
Sarah practices in Mississippi and provides services in English. Prospective clients are encouraged to confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Sarah uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. ACT focuses on observing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that align with priorities, which can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and questions about life purpose.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and test unhelpful thoughts and develop practical strategies for mood and anxiety management. CBT offers straightforward tools for changing thinking patterns and trying new behaviors between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk through goals, preferences, and what techniques feel useful, then adjust methods collaboratively as the work progresses.
