About Sarah

Sarah Hewitt is a licensed mental health counselor who works with people coping with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, grief, and a range of other life challenges.

Background and approach

She draws on nearly a decade of clinical experience to help clients identify the roots of painful emotions and the burdens they carry, then develop practical skills to respond differently to triggers and interpersonal patterns. Her style blends validation, mindfulness, and evidence-informed techniques to support emotional processing and behavioral change.

Sessions emphasize self-reflection, learning to respond rather than react, and cultivating self-compassion while addressing concerns such as ADHD, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, grief, chronic illness, and attachment difficulties.

Sarah holds LCMHC and LMHC credentials and practices from Indiana, offering structured approaches alongside somatic awareness and motivational interviewing to help clients move toward healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.

Approach-focused care delivered online

Internal Family Systems helps people notice and dialogue with different internal parts so that burdens and extreme reactions can be understood and eased; it is often used when trauma, dissociation, or internal conflict is present. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on building psychological flexibility by clarifying values, practicing acceptance, and committing to actions that align with what matters, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns and the effects of early bonds on current relationships, helping people improve connection and communication in important relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to assess needs, try methods that fit their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan over time so therapy matches what is most helpful for the client.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for scheduling and access. These formats allow for continuity of care across busy days and varied locations, and therapists can adapt exercises and tools so clients can practice skills between appointments.
