About Sarah

Sarah Bonnette is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with two decades of clinical practice based in Ohio. She brings 20 years of experience supporting children, adults, and families through a broad range of concerns including depression, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting and family difficulties, and ADHD.

Background and approach

Her background also includes work with adoption and foster care, intellectual and developmental disabilities, and other complex life stressors. Known for a caring, nonjudgmental listening style, she draws on solution-focused and strengths-based methods while remaining trauma-informed.

Sarah combines practical strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with a client-centered stance, helping clients identify their own resources and take actionable steps toward goals. She describes therapy as a collaborative process and aims to help people regain a greater sense of balance and purpose.

Sarah holds LCSW and LISW credentials and works with clients remotely from Ohio. Prospective clients can expect a warm, down-to-earth clinician who emphasizes respect, clarity, and achievable change while tailoring work to each person’s needs.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Sarah frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete skills for managing symptoms like anxiety or low mood. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, often involving experiments and exercises that translate well to remote sessions.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, offering empathic listening and collaborative pacing so clients feel heard and can explore priorities at their own rhythm. This approach supports self-discovery and helps people connect to their own strengths when facing grief, trauma, or life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to clarify needs and preferences, testing strategies and adjusting methods so the work fits individual goals rather than imposing a single model.

Online therapy with Sarah makes use of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These formats allow scheduling around work, caregiving, or mobility constraints while keeping continuity of care during times of change. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and coping tools to remote formats so clients can practice between sessions and track progress.
