About Sarah
Sarah Bonnette is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Independent Social Worker with two decades of practice in Ohio. She brings 20 years of hands-on experience helping people facing depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, and stress. Sarah focuses on practical, person-centered care that meets people where they are.
Her style is calm and attentive. She listens first, then helps clients find steps that make sense for their life. Sessions emphasize strengths and small changes that add up over time.
Background and approach
Sarah aims to be nonjudgmental and grounded during each conversation. Parents often seek her support for parenting strain, adoption and foster care concerns, or family-of-origin questions. She also works with people coping with compassion fatigue, first responder issues, intellectual or developmental disabilities, ADHD, and isolation or loneliness.
Issues like anger, low self-esteem, career shifts, and coping with major life changes are also common topics in her work. Sarah uses approaches that focus on solutions and understanding how past experiences affect the present. She helps people break problems into manageable steps and build on what already works.
Trauma-informed ideas guide how she responds to difficult memories and intense emotions. Her background includes broad experience with adoption and foster care matters, attachment concerns, and supporting those affected by domestic violence and natural or human-caused disasters. Sarah draws on this experience to tailor sessions to each person’s goals and pace.

How Sarah's Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and building a supportive relationship. It helps clarify what matters most and guides decisions at a pace that feels comfortable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sarah will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and which methods feel most useful. She combines listening with clear options and adjusts the plan based on what helps most in everyday life.
Online sessions offer practical benefits for busy people and parents. Video calls let the therapist and client use face-to-face interaction when that matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits a lunch break. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for written, on-the-go exchanges and brief touchpoints between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent during work, caregiving, or other demands.
