About Sarah
Sarah Claridge is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) in Ohio with 14 years of clinical experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, depression, anger, and life changes. Sarah also supports people facing relationship and parenting challenges, LGBT issues, grief, and career questions.
She uses practical, straightforward methods in sessions. Conversation focuses on what is happening now and what can be changed. Sarah draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the client's perspective central. She pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help spot unhelpful thoughts and patterns.
Mindfulness techniques and Solution-Focused Therapy are part of her toolbox too. Mindfulness helps with noticing reactions in the moment. Solution-Focused work keeps attention on small, doable steps toward a better day-to-day.
Clients bring specific problems such as codependency, communication troubles, substance issues, first responder stress, guilt, isolation, or obsessive behaviors. Sarah works with mood disorders, panic, PTSD, process addictions, seasonal mood shifts, and self-esteem concerns as well. Conversations aim to produce clear strategies, not vague goals.
Sessions balance listening and active interventions. Practical homework or small experiments are common between meetings. People looking to manage anger, rebuild communication, reduce anxiety, or change unhelpful habits will find direct, skills-based support in her approach.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online session practicalities
Client-Centered Therapy places the client's experience at the center of meetings and encourages clear, personal choices about goals and pacing. This approach helps people feel heard while deciding what changes matter most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going and on trying specific exercises to shift them. CBT can be useful for anger, anxiety, mood concerns, and compulsive behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to try based on the client's goals, preferences, and the problems they want to address. That means testing practical steps, tracking what helps, and adjusting plans together rather than following a fixed program.
Session format options should be confirmed before booking since specific formats were not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. If a client prefers less time on camera or a quicker phone check-in to fit a lunch break, those practical needs can be discussed when arranging appointments.
