About Sara
Sara Saiger is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults and older adults on issues such as mood disorders, substance use, grief, parenting concerns, and family problems. Her practice addresses relationship struggles and the lasting patterns people carry from their families of origin.
Sara spent over a decade as a Behavioral Health Therapist in psychiatric settings and more than three years as a Clinical Care Coordinator and therapist for an inpatient substance abuse program. For the past five years she has served as Clinical Supervisor at a crisis center. Those roles shaped how she approaches practical concerns and crisis moments.
She uses a person-centered, solution-focused style combined with motivational interviewing. In sessions she helps people set realistic goals, build on strengths, and make small changes that fit their life. Conversations are geared toward concrete steps and clearer choices rather than long theory talks.
Common areas she addresses include depression, bipolar symptoms, drug and alcohol addiction, coping with life changes, anger, and low self-esteem. She also helps with fertility-related stress, postpartum mood concerns, and issues tied to aging and care of older adults.
Sara holds a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of South Florida and a bachelor’s degree in Health and Human Services from the University at Buffalo. She speaks English and practices in Georgia. To begin, prospective clients follow the site’s matching process and schedule a first session.
How evidence-based approaches guide online sessions
Person-centered work focuses on what matters to the client. It emphasizes listening, identifying personal strengths, and shaping sessions around immediate goals. This approach is useful for relationship strain, low self-esteem, and coping with family of origin patterns.Solution-focused techniques concentrate on practical steps and measurable changes. Sessions often aim to clarify one or two achievable goals and build from there. That can help people dealing with mood shifts, coping with life transitions, or managing addictive behaviors.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that fit the client's needs, and adjust the plan based on progress and preference. Clients take an active role in choosing what feels most helpful.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic. Ask about session length and whether phone or video options are offered so you can pick what works best for your routine.
