About
Sarinia Bishop, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker who also identifies as an addictions specialist, and she focuses on creating a supportive space where clients can reconnect with themselves and strengthen relationships with others. She recognizes how often people pour energy into meeting external expectations and may lose sight of their own needs, values, and identity. In therapy, she aims to help clients slow down, explore what feels authentic, and begin the work of healing and self-definition.
She is especially passionate about offering education, grounding, and direction for women navigating transitional stages of life. Her areas of focus include identity development, codependency, attachment disruptions, trauma (including religious trauma), work, school, and life transitions, relationship building, and re-entry or reintegration. Her style is conversational and psychodynamic, with an emphasis on forming a genuine therapeutic connection and then tailoring a plan to fit each client’s specific needs.
Her practice is welcoming to female-identifying, male-identifying, non-binary, and two-spirit individuals, and she has a particular interest in supporting people with multicultural and ethnic backgrounds. She strives to offer a warm, non-judgmental environment that supports growth, empowerment, and meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Sarinia Bishop, LCSW, draws from approaches that can be especially helpful for identity exploration, relationship concerns, and navigating major life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and ongoing relationship patterns shape the way someone connects, copes, and feels safe with others. It can be useful when working through abandonment concerns, attachment disruptions, or recurring relationship dynamics.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respect, empathy, and collaboration, helping clients clarify what matters most to them and build self-trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools for noticing unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of responding, which can support goals related to self-esteem, communication problems, and day-to-day stress during periods of change.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sarinia Bishop works collaboratively with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, then adjusts the pace and focus over time based on what feels most supportive.
Online therapy also makes it easier to stay consistent. Sessions can happen through video calls or phone, and support may also be available through live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, travel within the state, or times when in-person meetings feel harder to manage.
