About Sarah
Sarah Bonnette is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) practicing from Ohio with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma and grief. She also supports people dealing with parenting stress, career strain, ADHD, and burnout from caregiving or first responder roles.
Sarah focuses on clear, practical steps rather than long talks that go nowhere. She listens and helps people notice patterns in thinking and behavior. Then she and the client try specific changes to see what helps. Sessions aim to identify realistic goals and small practices to use between meetings.
Her background includes work with adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, intellectual and developmental disability, and domestic violence. She brings approaches that include client-centered work, solution-focused methods, trauma-focused care, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). That mix is used to address emotional reactions, coping skills, and ways to manage stress and impulsivity.
When someone is grieving, recovering from abuse, or overwhelmed by daily demands, Sarah helps break problems into manageable parts. She emphasizes doable strategies for mood, sleep, and thought patterns. People leave sessions with concrete next steps and a short plan to practice between meetings.
Sessions are offered in English and reflect two decades of clinical work in Ohio. Before a first appointment she asks people to describe their main concerns and goals so early sessions can focus on immediate, practical needs.
How her therapeutic approaches work for online sessions
CBT helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and habits, then practice specific changes to see what eases anxiety or low mood. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's concerns so goals come from the client's priorities. Trauma-Focused Therapy pays attention to how past events affect current reactions and teaches coping skills to reduce overwhelm.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences in the first sessions and recommend which methods to emphasize. That plan can be adjusted as progress is observed and as the client tries different techniques.
Confirm current session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the original profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Therapists typically adapt CBT worksheets, brief behavioral experiments, and solution-focused tasks to work over distance so people can practice between sessions and measure what changes help most.
