About Sarah
Sarah Claridge is a Licensed Independent Social Worker in Ohio with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and life changes. She also addresses anger, relationship and parenting concerns using practical methods.
Sarah uses a client-centered way of working that keeps the person in focus. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people spot patterns, test small changes, and build clearer habits. Mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing are tools she uses to support motivation and calmer responding.
In sessions she breaks issues into manageable steps. That might mean tracking triggers for anger or rumination, trying short experiments between meetings, and practicing simple grounding and breathing skills. Conversations are direct and practical with a focus on next steps you can try right away.
Sarah has experience with a broad range of concerns beyond mood and anxiety. She has worked with people dealing with substance use, obsessive behaviors, grief, career questions, identity and relationship challenges. She also helps those coping with first responder stress, burnout, and compassion fatigue.
Therapy with her tends to focus on what changes will make daily life easier. That could be clearer communication, setting boundaries, making a plan to reduce risky patterns, or learning tools to manage intense moments. She asks for concrete goals and reviews progress each session so plans can be adjusted.
People who choose her often want skills they can use between sessions. Sarah mixes short practical exercises with talk-based problem solving. The emphasis is on workable steps that fit into a busy life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. Online sessions using this approach prioritize the clients goals, and the therapist adjusts pace and topics based on feedback. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and tests small behavior changes. It works well for managing anger, anxiety, and mood by practicing new responses and reviewing results. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and support clearer thinking in heated moments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals and preferences. That might mean combining CBT skill building with brief mindfulness practices, or using solution-focused steps when a quick plan is needed. The plan is revisited regularly to see what helps and what needs adjusting.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow repeated practice of skills between meetings so people can test changes in everyday settings and bring results back to session for review.
