About Sarah
Sarah Bonnette is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) practicing in Ohio with 20 years of experience. She has worked in settings that served children, adults, and those connected to foster care and adoption. Sarah focuses on common issues such as anger, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and stress.
Sarah listens first and keeps the work practical. She uses solution-focused and strengths-based steps so people can try things between sessions. She also brings trauma-informed care when past harm affects how someone copes now.
In sessions she helps people sort through what is most urgent. That might mean reducing impulsive reactions, managing workplace frustration, or handling resentment in close relationships. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, first-responder strain, and challenges linked to ADHD or developmental disabilities.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Sarah helps clients notice patterns, test small changes, and build clearer plans for everyday situations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas are used to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors when that fits the client’s goals.
People who choose Sarah often want hands-on strategies and a focus on real-life results. She guides practical steps toward clearer thinking and steadier actions. To begin, readers are invited to follow the site’s process for scheduling a first session.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and strengths. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, helping them find their own solutions. This approach can help when someone wants a supportive listener who helps them try new behaviors.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful thinking and build different habits. CBT tends to help with anger, anxiety, and low mood by breaking cycles that keep problems going.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that suit those goals, and adjust plans as needed. The emphasis is on working together to pick tools that fit the person’s situation and preferences.
Confirm the current session formats before booking since session options are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, or allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about specific session options during the matching and scheduling steps so sessions can be arranged to fit everyday life.
