Sarah Bonnette , LCSW, LISW

Sarah Bonnette is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with two decades of experience. She holds LCSW and LISW credentials and practices from Ohio. Sarah focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, parenting concerns, and ADHD.

She listens with care and without judgment. Sessions are built around the person in front of her, and Sarah aims to meet clients where they are. She favors clear steps that feel useful in day-to-day life instead of long theory talks.

Her background includes many years working with people affected by adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, intellectual and developmental disabilities, and issues that follow natural or human-caused disasters. She has supported people dealing with domestic violence, first responder stress, and caregiver burnout.

Therapy often uses client-centered work and solution-focused techniques alongside cognitive behavioral ideas and trauma-focused approaches. That means conversations focus on current problems, practical coping strategies, and understanding how past events affect present reactions.

Sarah draws on twenty years of experience to help people identify realistic goals and small steps toward them. She works with each person to find what fits their life and pace. Her style is collaborative, direct, and grounded in everyday solutions.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person and their goals. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, which helps shape sessions that feel relevant and manageable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into small steps to change. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many daily struggles because it gives concrete tools to practice.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide whether to try more solution-focused steps, CBT exercises, or trauma-focused work and then adjust as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to work between sessions. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when more connection is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing problem-solving, or a quick strategy when someone needs a brief touchpoint. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while using the same therapeutic approaches discussed above.
