Sarah Bent

Sarah Bent is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar disorder, and depression. She offers a calm, accepting space where people can talk through painful memories and find practical steps forward.

Her style is person-centered. She starts by listening closely and asking what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on real problems and small skills that help day to day. She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness alongside trauma-focused work when appropriate.

Sarah has eight years of clinical experience and brings attention to how health, relationships, and culture shape emotional life. She pays particular attention to caregiver strain, chronic illness and pain, end-of-life concerns, and issues that can come up during midlife. She also supports people dealing with isolation, guilt, shame, and communication breakdowns.

In sessions she works at the client’s pace, helping people build coping strategies and stronger communication. She helps clients notice patterns, test new behaviors, and practice skills between sessions. Her goal is to help clients feel more able to manage mood symptoms and stressful experiences.

Sarah practices in Indiana and holds LCSW credentials. Sessions are conducted in English. To confirm current session options and scheduling, readers are asked to follow the site’s booking steps before arranging an appointment.

How these approaches fit into online therapy

Trauma-Focused Therapy is a way of working that addresses the effects of traumatic experiences directly, often by helping people process memories, learn grounding skills, and reduce symptoms that get in the way of daily life. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting each person’s own goals, giving space to talk and reflect while the therapist follows the person's lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right mix of these methods is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which approaches match their needs, goals, and comfort level. This happens collaboratively, with regular check-ins to adjust the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use mindfulness and CBT exercises in their everyday setting between meetings. Ask about current session formats when you start the matching process so you can choose what works best for you.
