About Sarah
Sarah Garlick is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with 18 years of experience. She works with people from varied backgrounds and aims to build a trusting space where they can talk about what’s hard. Her approach is collaborative and practical, focusing on skills people can use right away.
Sarah trained at Boston University, where she earned a Master’s in Clinical Social Work. In her work she often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients change patterns of thinking and behavior. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape emotions and reactions.
Sessions include solution-focused strategies to set clear, attainable goals. Mindfulness practices are offered to help with stress, sleep, and grounding during intense emotions. Sarah describes therapy as a place to learn concrete tools for current problems and for future challenges.
Her areas of interest include anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, insomnia, parenting and co-parenting, self esteem, life transitions, addictions, grief, anger, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She uses these topics to guide practical skill-building rather than to make labels the focus.
Clients can expect a steady, supportive style that balances skill teaching with empathic listening. Sarah works with each person to tailor approaches to their situation and goals, helping them move toward more manageable day-to-day routines and improved well-being.
