“Sarah is kind, understanding, supportive, and so easy to talk to. When I first started therapy, I never imagined how much I would grow. Through working with Sarah, I've learned how to stand up for myself, communicate better in my relationships, express my needs in a healthy way, and reframe anxious thoughts instead of letting them control me. These are things I genuinely struggled with for years, and I never thought they would come as naturally as they do now thanks to Sarah.”

Getting to know Sarah Kington
Hi there, I'm Sarah!
My name is Sarah Kington, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Orange County, California, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I earned my Master's in Social Work from California State University Long Beach. I work with adults and specialize in anxiety, stress, depression, relationship problems, divorce, foster/adoption, trauma/abuse, parenting, and grief. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a Humanistic Therapy approach to reduce symptoms, support free will, and help develop a strong sense of self aligned with your individual goals.
My approach
My therapeutic approach is tailored to your needs. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Humanistic Therapy to address unhelpful thought patterns while increasing function and well-being. This helps develop free will and a strong sense of self in a safe space where you feel heard and validated.
My focus
I specialize in adults experiencing challenges with the pressures of everyday life. I help clients learn coping strategies, relaxation techniques, set boundaries, develop and use their voice, implement free will, and build a strong sense of self to achieve a more positive and meaningful life.
My communication style
My style creates a calm, safe space that is supportive and encouraging without judgment.
My journey to mental healthcare
My journey to becoming a therapist began young. I always felt the need to build connections and help people through difficult times. I have worked with children who have been abused and neglected, victims of domestic violence, substance abuse, homelessness, death and dying, and new medical diagnoses. I have also opened my home to foster youth.
My goals for you
I approach goal setting by building rapport and trust in a comfortable setting while learning what you want to achieve during our time together.
