Sarah Bonnette

Sarah Bonnette is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience based in Ohio. She has worked with people facing depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, ADHD, and issues related to foster care, adoption, and intellectual disability. Sarah aims to listen carefully and meet each person where they are.

She uses a solution-focused and strengths-based style. Sessions tend to be practical and goal-oriented, with attention to how past events affect daily life. She describes her manner as caring and non-judgmental, helping people find their own answers rather than prescribing them.

Sarah has worked across settings with children, adults, and families, and she draws on two decades of experience when planning care. That background informs how she helps people cope with major life changes, caregiver stress, and challenges tied to trauma or discrimination.

In a typical session she listens first, clarifies what matters most, and then collaborates on small steps that can make life feel more manageable. She integrates trauma-focused thinking where past harm affects current functioning, while also using brief, solution-oriented strategies to address immediate concerns.

People who prefer a warm, steady listener who also offers clear, practical suggestions often find this approach helpful. Sarah invites clients to identify goals, try approaches tailored to their needs, and adjust plans as progress unfolds.

How these approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's perspective. It helps people who want an accepting, exploratory space to talk through concerns and decide goals for themselves.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It is useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and managing impulsivity by practicing concrete skills and small behavioral changes.

Therapy choice is something the therapist and client figure out together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and typical day-to-day needs to decide whether a more exploratory or more skills-focused approach fits best. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as work progresses.

Because the biography does not specify session formats, confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep appointments during major life transitions or when coordinating care across locations.
