About Sachie

Sachie Uchimaru is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with 17 years of professional experience. She focuses on supporting people who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and ADHD.

Background and approach

Fluent in both English and Japanese, she draws on her bilingual background to communicate with clients who prefer either language. Sachie combines practical skill-building with empathetic listening to help clients develop strategies for managing symptoms and improving daily functioning.

Her work emphasizes real-world tools for coping with overwhelming emotions and increasing personal resilience. Clients can expect a collaborative approach that blends compassionate support with concrete steps toward better self-management and functioning.

She offers online formats that include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, and tailors the structure of care to client needs and availability. Sachie practices across California and holds the credential CA LCSW 60530.

Evidence-informed approaches and flexible online care

Sachie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine skills training and processing. One approach focuses on teaching concrete coping skills for managing anxiety and mood fluctuations, helping clients build routines and strategies to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning. Another approach addresses trauma-related symptoms through gradual processing and stabilization strategies that aim to reduce reactivity and restore a sense of safety.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Sachie collaborates with each client to identify which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting methods as progress and needs evolve. This collaborative process helps tailor care to individual challenges rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care around busy schedules, geographic constraints, or mobility needs while allowing therapists and clients to choose the communication style that best supports their progress.
