About Sarah

Sarah Bonnette is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience. She practices in Ohio and has supported people facing depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, and parenting challenges. She listens without judgment and helps people take the next practical step.

She uses straightforward, solution-focused work that looks for strengths a person already has. Sessions often focus on small, achievable changes that reduce stress and improve daily functioning. Sarah also brings trauma-informed ideas when past hurts are part of the problem.

Background and approach

People who come to her often want help with family and adoption concerns, coping with life changes, or managing symptoms of ADHD. She also works with caregivers, those dealing with compassion fatigue, and people who feel isolated or overwhelmed by guilt and shame. Practical problem solving and clearer routines are common topics.

Her background includes long experience with developmental and intellectual disability issues, domestic violence, and first responder stress. That experience shapes how she frames goals and sets realistic expectations. Sarah helps people find tools that fit their life and situation.

Sessions are offered in ways that suit a busy schedule. Conversations focus on what the person can do next and how to build on small successes. Her style is warm, down-to-earth, and centered on collaborating toward measurable change.

How Sarah’s Approaches Translate Online

Sarah often uses Client-Centered Therapy to make sure sessions follow what matters most to the person. That approach focuses on listening closely and building goals from the client’s own priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical behavior changes that reduce anxiety and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean trying a CBT exercise for a few weeks or staying mainly client-centered while addressing trauma-related material when it comes up.

Online formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent. Video calls let for full conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter updates, coping tools between sessions, or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options aim to make engaging in therapy more flexible and practical for everyday life.
