About Sarah

Sarah Sutton is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with three years of experience working in Ohio. She focuses on common life struggles including stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, depression, anger, and sleep problems. She also supports people dealing with addictions, ADHD, bipolar concerns, compassion fatigue, intimacy issues, and LGBT-related challenges.

She works in a collaborative, client-centered way. Sessions tend to focus on practical skills you can use between meetings. That can mean learning ways to notice and slow down strong reactions, trying simple mindfulness exercises, or using thought-focused tools to shift patterns that fuel anger and resentment.

Sarah draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing. Those methods shape how she helps people understand triggers, practice different responses, and strengthen close relationships. Expect a straightforward mix of talk, skill practice, and reflection.

Her background includes social work practice in Ohio and Florida and a focus on helping people manage life changes and relationship strain. She frames work around current goals, whether that is reducing outbursts at home, managing workplace frustration, or rebuilding connection after conflict.

How sessions work

Approaches used in online sessions and what they do

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It supports clearer goals and helps people feel understood while deciding what to work on next.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete exercises for noticing triggers, testing unhelpful beliefs, and practicing alternative responses to anger and anxiety.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps with patterns in close relationships. It can be useful when anger comes up in couples or when people want to change repeated hurt or withdrawal with a partner.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit a person's situation, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That means sessions often combine talking, skill practice, and small homework tasks to build new habits.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online meetings can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow quick check-ins when needed. Different approaches can be used in remote work just as in person, and the therapist will help choose formats and methods that suit daily life and scheduling needs.
