About Sarah
Sarah Bonnette is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with two decades of experience in Ohio. She brings a calm, practical presence to sessions and listens first to understand each person's situation. Sarah focuses on helping people who struggle with stress, anxiety, anger, grief, depression, and trauma.
She has worked across a wide range of concerns, including adoption and foster care challenges, attachment issues, intellectual and developmental disabilities, caregiver stress, and first responder issues.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with people facing domestic violence, discrimination, and the long-term effects of trauma. This gives her a broad perspective on difficult life events. Sarah combines Client-Centered Therapy with Solution-Focused work and Trauma-Focused techniques.
In plain terms she helps people identify strengths, set concrete goals, and practice new ways of coping. Cognitive Behavioral tools are used where thinking and behavior patterns are getting in the way of feeling better. Sessions are collaborative and grounded in practical steps.
Sarah aims to help people spot small changes that add up, whether the need is better emotion control, clearer boundaries, or coping strategies for big life shifts. She emphasizes respect, patience, and realistic goals. People can expect straightforward conversations and a steady focus on problem-solving.
Sarah helps clients build skills they can use between sessions to manage anger, reduce overwhelm, and move toward more stable daily functioning.

How Sarah’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's unique experience, helping the therapist and client build a plan that fits the client's values and goals. This approach is useful for people who need empathy and a calm space to sort out feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence mood. Online CBT often involves setting small tasks between sessions and tracking progress to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and change unhelpful patterns.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on concrete goals and practical steps. In short term work this approach helps people identify strengths and try specific strategies that can be put into practice right away.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will collaborate with clients to choose or blend methods based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. She reviews what’s working and adjusts the plan together so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text let people check in between appointments or use brief sessions when time is tight. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact and practice skills between sessions.
