About Sarah
Sarah Feingold is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 16 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self esteem, depression, and coping with life changes.
She works in a direct, practical way. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings. Conversations aim to identify unhelpful thoughts, habits, and patterns that keep problems going.
Sarah uses several approaches to guide those steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a core method she draws on to notice thought patterns and test new responses. Attachment-Based and Client-Centered techniques also shape conversations about relationship patterns and personal priorities.
People often bring relationship wounds, caregiver strain, or repeat problems from their family of origin. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment issues, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness. First responder stress, panic attacks, and mood disorders are listed focus areas as well.
Her style is practical and problem-focused. Sessions commonly move from identifying a concern to planning small, achievable changes. Progress is measured by what feels different in day-to-day life rather than abstract goals.
Sarah practices in California and conducts work in English. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online therapy options button.
How her approaches translate to online work
Sarah often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT focuses on concrete exercises and brief experiments that fit well into daily life, such as tracking thought patterns, testing beliefs, and practicing new responses. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore patterns that repeat in relationships. This approach looks at how early connections influence current trust, communication, and closeness, which can help with issues like abandonment or attachment concerns. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with the client to match methods to specific goals and preferences, adjusting plans as progress is reviewed. Confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list them explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find that doing practical CBT exercises between sessions is easier when meetings can be scheduled around work, caregiving, or other commitments.Areas of expertise
