About Sarah
Sarah Hershey is an Ohio Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 18 years of professional experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and parenting concerns. Sessions focus on practical steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Her background includes many years supporting people through relationship strain, mood struggles, and life transitions. She also addresses issues such as self-esteem, anger, impulsivity, body image, and struggles with isolation or loneliness. Sarah draws on several evidence-informed approaches to guide conversations and skills practice.
In session she uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. She also works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to clarify values and accept difficult feelings while still taking meaningful action. Client-centered and emotionally focused methods influence her way of listening and addressing relationship concerns.
Sessions often include mindfulness exercises to slow down racing thoughts and build stronger emotion regulation. Practical tools and short homework tasks are common so skills can transfer into daily life. She pays attention to how attachment and past losses affect current behavior and relationships.
People who prefer clear, straightforward guidance about coping skills, communication, and managing mood may find her approach helpful. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and formats directly through the site flow.
How Sarah uses therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and still choose actions that match their values. It’s useful when anxiety or avoidance gets in the way of what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical techniques to test unhelpful beliefs and try new actions. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotion regulation. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods make the most sense based on goals, daily life, and what feels manageable. That choice can be adjusted over time as needs change. The biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer video to practice social skills and see nonverbal cues, while others favor phone sessions when bandwidth is limited or a quieter interaction is preferable. Discussing format and frequency early in the process helps make sessions realistic for everyday life.Areas of expertise
