About Sarah
Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) in Ohio with 14 years of experience, Sarah Claridge helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, and life changes. She works with concerns around relationships, parenting, work stress, LGBT issues, grief, and mood disorders. Sarah uses straightforward talk and practical strategies to help people move forward.
Sarah practices mainly client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and help people name what matters most to them. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. She also uses Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy as tools when they fit a person's goals.
Sessions focus on clear goals and steps the client can try between meetings. For concerns such as addiction, codependency, or compulsive behaviors, she blends motivational interviewing with CBT techniques to support change. For trauma and abuse, she works at a pace the client chooses and prioritizes safety and stabilization before moving to deeper processing.
Sarah pays attention to practical skills for daily life. That can include anxiety management exercises, communication practice, relapse prevention planning, or strategies for handling burnout and compassion fatigue. She also supports exploration of identity, self-esteem, and relationship patterns.
Clients are invited to set concrete goals and revisit them regularly. She outlines options, explains the reasoning behind interventions, and adjusts the plan based on what is working. To start, readers should confirm current session formats before booking.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. Online sessions use that same stance to clarify goals and priorities so each session stays practical and focused.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online work can include short exercises, thought records, and homework between sessions to test new behaviors and reduce symptoms related to anxiety, mood disorders, and compulsive behaviors.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. These can be practiced briefly during sessions and repeated between meetings to build calm and focus.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to use based on goals, the presenting concern, and personal preference. That plan is reviewed and adjusted as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits can help keep therapy consistent while clients try new skills in their everyday life.
