About Sarah

Sarah Bonnette is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with two decades of practice in Ohio. She brings 20 years of experience supporting people facing depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, and related stresses. She listens without judgment and meets people where they are.

Sarah has worked with a wide range of concerns including foster care and adoption questions, school and career stress, intellectual and developmental disability, and caregiver strain. Her work also includes supporting people dealing with compassion fatigue, anger, isolation, and family of origin issues. She draws on experience with first responder issues and disasters when those topics are part of someone's story.

Her approach is rooted in client-centered care. That means the conversation follows the person's needs and priorities rather than a fixed script. She also uses solution-focused techniques to identify practical steps and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy methods to notice patterns that get in the way of feeling better.

Sarah describes her style as caring, down-to-earth, and goal-oriented. Sessions focus on concrete goals and tools people can use between meetings. She emphasizes strengths and works with people to name their next steps toward a more fulfilled life.

Sarah practices in Ohio and holds the credentials LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker and LISW - Licensed Independent Social Worker. Sessions are conducted in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How clinical approaches guide online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on each person's priorities and strengths. In practice that means the therapist listens closely, follows the person's lead, and helps shape goals that feel meaningful and realistic. This approach is helpful for people coping with depression, grief, or major life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thought patterns affect feelings and behavior. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small experiments to change them. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and problems that show up in daily routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose or blend approaches based on needs, goals, and preferences. That process may involve trying techniques for a few sessions and adjusting what does or does not help.

Confirm the available session formats before booking since specific formats are not listed in the profile. Many people find online therapy helpful because it makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, offers quieter surroundings when needed, and allows shorter check-ins when a full session is not required. Talk with the therapist about practical arrangements and scheduling so sessions match everyday routines and goals.
