About Sarah
Sarah Bonnette is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience based in Ohio. She draws on long experience supporting people facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and parenting or family stress. Sarah is warm, patient, and focused on helping people find workable steps forward.
She listens closely and starts by understanding each person's situation and goals. Sessions emphasize practical steps people can try between meetings. Sarah uses straightforward conversation to help clarify strengths and small changes that add up.
Background and approach
Her style blends client-centered care with solution-focused methods. That means sessions follow the person's priorities while looking for concrete, short-term strategies. Cognitive behavioral ideas are used to help change unhelpful thinking and habits that keep problems going.
Sarah has substantial experience with trauma and abuse and uses trauma-informed practices when that background matters. She also supports parents and caregivers as they manage stress, compassion fatigue, and family-of-origin concerns. People who reach out can expect calm, down-to-earth guidance and a focus on goals they set.
Sarah helps people sort next steps, whether that means coping tools for anxious moments, plans for career or life changes, or ways to repair strained relationships.
Approaches used in online therapy
Sarah blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused methods. Client-centered therapy means the therapist follows the person's lead and builds on their strengths to set priorities and goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and low mood. Solution-focused therapy is goal-directed and looks for practical, short-term steps that produce noticeable improvement.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels most useful. That conversation helps choose which methods to emphasize and how to adapt them for online sessions in a collaborative way.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging let people send brief updates, ask quick questions, or work through moments of anxiety between sessions. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit into busy schedules and everyday life.
