About Sarah
Sarah Edinger is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 21 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, anger, and questions around self-esteem and life purpose. She also lists support for ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, and guilt and shame.
Sarah keeps language simple in sessions and avoids clinical jargon unless she is teaching a concept. She says a strong working relationship is the clearest sign progress is possible. Her style is down-to-earth and straightforward, with an openness to humor when it fits the moment.
In practice she combines tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means she might help a person notice what matters to them, test unhelpful thinking, practice new behaviors, and set small practical goals. She also does preliminary work for trauma processing and collaborates with trauma therapists when needed.
Her background includes work in schools, community mental health, and private practice across different care settings. Sarah will speak plainly about diagnoses when required by insurance, and she strives to avoid letting labels define a person. Clients can expect conversations that address everyday problems and concrete steps for coping.
Sarah is located in Mississippi and conducts sessions in English. She aims to help people sort through difficult feelings and make decisions that fit their lives.
Therapeutic approaches and remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking actions that reflect those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can help when guilt or shame keeps someone stuck from doing things they care about. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and behavior. It helps identify and test unhelpful thoughts, develop alternative ways of thinking, and practice new coping skills for anxiety, depression, and mood concerns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to figure out which methods match their needs and goals. That might mean mixing ACT, CBT, and solution-focused steps so the work fits what the person wants to change.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten check-ins when schedules are tight, avoid travel time, or reduce the need to be on camera for every meeting. Licensed professionals adapt tools and homework to remote sessions so people can apply strategies between meetings and during day-to-day life.
