About Sachie

Sachie Uchimaru is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California. She brings 17 years of clinical experience to sessions and speaks both English and Japanese.

She focuses on common problems like anxiety, depression, stress, and self esteem. She also helps people who have experienced trauma and those managing ADHD-related challenges. Conversations are practical and aimed at day-to-day improvements.

Sachie often supports students facing the move to college and people working on executive functioning skills. In sessions she breaks down tasks, builds routines, and practices skills that make school and work life more manageable.

Her background growing up in Japan and working in California helps her work with people across cultural lines. She can conduct therapy in Japanese or English depending on the client’s needs.

She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions and focuses on what a person can do between meetings. People can expect clear steps, concrete strategies, and time to talk through what matters most to them.

Approaches that guide online work

Sachie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and problem solving. One approach emphasizes building routines and executive functioning strategies to help with organization, time management, and following through on tasks. This approach suits people who want concrete tools to manage daily demands.

Another approach she uses centers on coping with anxiety and depression through small behavioral changes and structured practice. It focuses on breaking problems into manageable steps and trying out new habits over time. These methods are helpful for stress reduction and improving mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sachie will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels realistic. She adapts techniques as those needs and goals evolve, so the plan matches the client rather than the other way around.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how she is meeting with clients. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people keep continuity of care while managing school, work, or family responsibilities.
