About Sarah
LCSW in California with 5 years of experience, Sarah Chiba focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, self-esteem, career concerns, and coping with life changes. She works with people who are facing transitions and practical struggles. Sessions aim to make it easier to talk about what’s happening and to find workable steps forward.
Sarah uses straightforward conversation and evidence-based tools. She draws on client-centered therapy to listen and reflect what the client brings. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to notice patterns of thought and behavior, and mindfulness and somatic ideas to reconnect with the body and present-moment awareness.
In session she helps clients break down urgent problems into small, achievable actions. That might look like setting a short-term goal, testing a new behavior, or practicing a coping skill between appointments. She checks in about results and adjusts the plan as needed.
Her work covers emotional themes such as shame, emptiness, jealousy, isolation, and social anxiety. She also supports people dealing with life-stage concerns like midlife shifts, young adult transitions, pregnancy and childbirth changes, and questions about life purpose.
Sarah’s style is direct and practical. She listens, reflects, and offers tools the client can try. Her use of solution-focused methods helps keep sessions forward-moving and concrete.
Clients who want to start are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. This initial step is used to clarify goals and pick approaches that fit the person’s needs.

Therapeutic approaches used in remote work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client brings. It helps people feel understood and keeps sessions organized around their priorities.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and habits linked to addictions by teaching practical experiments and thought-checking skills.
Mindfulness approaches train attention to present-moment experience and simple awareness practices. These skills can reduce reactivity and support coping with stress and social anxiety.
Choosing an approach is part of the work and is decided together. The therapist will review the client’s goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process guides whether more CBT, solution-focused steps, or somatic work is emphasized.
Session logistics are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals often use a mix of conversation, brief exercises, and homework that can be practiced between sessions to keep progress moving.
