About Sachie

Sachie Uchimaru is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with 17 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem worries, and ADHD-related challenges. She speaks English and Japanese and brings a background shaped by living in Japan to her work.

Sachie aims for clear, practical conversations in sessions. She helps clients break down problems into manageable steps and build routines that support day-to-day functioning. For people navigating transitions, she offers guidance on planning and adjusting to new roles and environments.

Her work often centers on managing symptoms and improving daily skills like organization, time management, and study routines. She also assists people processing painful experiences related to trauma and abuse. Sessions include talking through feelings, developing coping strategies, and practicing small behavior changes that add up over time.

Sachie often supports college students dealing with the move to campus and the academic and social pressures that follow. She also addresses executive functioning difficulties that affect work and school performance. These are practical, skill-focused sessions rather than quick fixes.

People who prefer some support in Japanese can work with her in that language. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and use the Start Therapy flow to begin the matching process.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Sachie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on tangible skills and emotional processing. One common approach helps people build routines and executive functioning skills by breaking tasks into smaller steps, creating schedules, and practicing organization strategies to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning.

Another approach centers on processing traumatic experiences and their impacts through paced discussion and coping skill practice. This work helps people reduce distress from past events and learn ways to manage triggers and strong emotions when they arise.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sachie works collaboratively with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She will adjust techniques over time and check in regularly to make sure the plan remains helpful.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, save travel time, and allow repeat check-ins from familiar surroundings. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, please confirm current session options before booking. The focus is on practical benefits like shorter check-ins when needed, easier scheduling around school or work, and using tools that support real-life behavior change rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.
