About Sarah
Sarah Steingiser is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Connecticut with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship and family issues, grief, and challenges related to parenting and caregiving. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients.
Her background includes outpatient care, child welfare, addiction treatment, nursing homes, and extended day treatment programs for children. That variety means she has seen people at different life stages and in many settings. Her work has included supporting people who experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
Sarah uses a mix of approaches that include client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness therapy, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-focused work. In practical terms that looks like setting clear goals, practicing new skills in session, and using short exercises to change unhelpful thoughts or behaviors.
She describes her style as interactive and respectful. Conversations tend to focus on specific problems and steps to manage them, such as techniques for anger, strategies for stress, and tools for improving communication. Sessions often include teaching skills and trying them out together.
Clients can expect a straightforward approach that emphasizes problem-solving and coping skills. Sarah also draws on experience supporting people through major life changes, attachment and blended family concerns, body image and eating-related struggles, and attention-related difficulties.

How sessions work
Approaches you might use together and online options
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and perspective. It involves listening, reflecting, and shaping sessions around what the client wants to work on. This approach helps people notice patterns and decide which changes matter most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It uses clear exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and practice alternative responses, which can reduce angry reactions and improve problem solving.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices. These tools can reduce reactivity, improve frustration tolerance, and support steady responses when tension rises.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will help identify which approaches fit a person’s goals and preferences, and they will adjust techniques as progress is tracked. That collaboration guides whether sessions lean more toward skill practice, reflection, or trauma-focused processing.
The biography does not list specific session formats for this clinician, so confirm which options are offered before booking. Many people appreciate online sessions because they can fit appointments around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Talk with the therapist during the matching steps about practical needs and how sessions can fit into everyday life.
