About Sarah
Sarah Bonnette is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with two decades of experience. She is based in Ohio and draws on long experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, and ADHD. She listens carefully and works in a respectful, nonjudgmental way.
Sarah uses straightforward, practical methods. She focuses on solutions and on clients' strengths. Sessions are aimed at helping people find concrete steps that feel doable in daily life.
Background and approach
She values clear goals and steady progress. Her background includes work with adoption and foster care, attachment issues, intellectual and developmental disabilities, and first responder concerns. She has also supported people dealing with caregiver strain, domestic violence, and recovery after disasters.
That range informs how she tailors sessions to each person's needs. In the therapy room she blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused practices. That means she pays attention to a person's story, helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and uses trauma-informed methods when needed.
The goal is manageable change rather than perfection. Sarah aims to help parents and individuals handle family stress, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, and career-related pressures. She also addresses isolation, impulsivity, and issues related to hearing impairment.
Her style is warm, direct, and focused on practical steps. For people who prefer flexible session types, she offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based options. The process begins with a brief questionnaire and scheduling based on availability.
How therapy approaches fit online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on hearing a person's story and responding without judgment. It helps when someone needs a trusting space to sort out feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify patterns in thoughts and behaviors and replaces them with more helpful options. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing ADHD-related challenges.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's goals, preferences, and life situation. Plans can change over time as needs shift, and the therapist will check in about what feels helpful and what needs adjusting.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people keep visual connection for deeper conversation, while phone sessions may fit a busy workday or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice, or times when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a weekly routine and to continue work between sessions.
