Sarah Claridge

Sarah Claridge is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) practicing in Ohio. She has 14 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the emotional fallout from trauma and life changes. Her work emphasizes a calm, respectful tone and practical steps people can try between sessions.

She uses a person-centered way of working that keeps the client’s goals in focus. Sarah draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small, doable changes. Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing are also part of how she supports motivation and self-awareness.

Many clients come with concerns about relationships, parenting stress, addiction, grief, and self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue. Anger and communication problems are described among her areas of focus and are addressed through concrete skills and clearer thinking.

Sessions aim to identify what matters most to the person and build step-by-step plans that fit day-to-day life. Sarah emphasizes straightforward tools for coping, emotional regulation, and improving communication. Progress is tracked in ways that make sense to each person.

Her practice welcomes diverse identities and sexual orientations, and she focuses on creating a nonjudgmental space. To start, she asks people to share their immediate goals so sessions can begin with practical work that feels relevant and achievable.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy puts your priorities first. In this approach the therapist listens carefully, reflects what is most important, and helps you set goals that match your values and day-to-day needs. It can be useful for stress, relationship strain, and figuring out next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions often include identifying common thought patterns and practicing small behavioral experiments between meetings to test new ways of coping with anxiety, anger, or low mood.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help reduce reactivity and improve emotional awareness. These skills often pair well with CBT when people want tools to manage strong feelings in the moment.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted as progress is made, and choices are revisited so the approach stays useful.

Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around work, reduce travel, and allow focused check-ins between other responsibilities. Talk with the therapist about which ways of meeting will fit your routine and communication needs.
