About Sarah

Sarah Bonnette is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience working in Ohio. She brings steady attention and a calm presence to sessions. People often seek her help for stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, anger, and life transitions.

Sarah listens without judgment and meets people where they are. She uses a strengths-based, solution-focused approach to help people identify practical steps forward. She also draws on trauma-focused methods when past hurt is getting in the way of daily life.

In sessions she helps clients name problems and try small, realistic changes. That can mean practicing new ways to respond to anger, building routines to reduce overwhelm, or testing ideas that improve mood and focus. She keeps language plain and actions practical so steps are easy to try between meetings.

Sarah has worked with people facing adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, intellectual and developmental disabilities, caregiver stress, and first responder situations. She has also supported those dealing with domestic violence, isolation, and compassion fatigue. Her background includes experience across child and adult settings over two decades.

Sarah holds LCSW and LISW credentials, and she is based in Ohio. She works collaboratively to set goals that matter to each person and adjusts the pace to match how comfortable they feel. If someone wants a straightforward, respectful approach that focuses on solutions, she may be a good fit.

How her approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist and values listening, empathy, and the client's own goals. It helps when someone wants a respectful space to talk through feelings and decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and building new habits through practical exercises and small behavior changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences, then try approaches that fit. They will adjust methods over time based on what helps the person make measurable progress.

Confirm session formats before booking because specific options were not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use therapy from a quieter location, preserve energy that would be spent commuting, and try techniques with real-life problems between sessions.
