About Sarah
Sarah Hershey is a licensed independent social worker with 18 years of professional experience in Ohio. She focuses on common life struggles like anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, parenting strains, and relationship stress. Sarah aims to make the first step feel manageable and supports people who are ready to try something different.
She creates a calm space where clients can talk about hard things. Sessions are a place to name feelings, test new ways of coping, and notice small changes that add up. Sarah listens closely and helps people build practical habits they can try between meetings.
Her work draws on several evidence-informed approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. She mixes these methods to match a person’s goals and situation rather than following a single script.
Sarah also uses mindfulness practices and client-centered techniques to help people increase awareness and self-compassion. She supports those dealing with codependency, attachment concerns, body image, and communication problems by focusing on clearer boundaries and steadier emotional responses.
People often come for help with life transitions, chronic stress, or mood shifts. Sarah helps clients break overwhelming problems into smaller steps and practice skills that fit daily life. Her style is straightforward, warm, and focused on what will help now.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and when life changes feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress management. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotional responses and patterns in relationships to build clearer communication and greater emotional connection.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and try methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process where techniques are adjusted as progress and preferences become clearer.

Many people find online sessions make it easier to schedule therapy around work, childcare, or daily routines. Online work can also make it simpler to practice mindfulness, try short skills check-ins between meetings, or fit a focused session into a lunch break. Licensed professionals use these methods to help clients move toward clearer boundaries, better emotion regulation, and more effective coping in everyday life.
