About Sarah

Sarah Hewitt is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting concerns. She addresses relationship and intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, addictions, and problems with sleep and anger. Her work also covers career changes, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and coping with life transitions.

Sarah holds LCMHC and LMHC licenses and draws on practical skills to make everyday life more manageable. Sarah aims for straightforward, down-to-earth sessions.

Background and approach

She listens first, then helps people name what feels hardest. Together they practice skills to respond differently to strong feelings. Sessions emphasize self-compassion and learning tools that can be used at home.

Her background includes nine years providing mental health and behavioral support. She has supported people struggling with attachment and abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, codependency, dissociation, and separation or divorce. Sarah also works with issues related to autism and Asperger syndrome and with people navigating kink and alternative sex cultures.

Therapy draws on several evidence-based methods, including acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical behavior skills, attachment-focused ideas, and client-centered listening. Techniques may include emotion work, gentle somatic awareness, and practical skill coaching. Sarah encourages self-reflection and steady skill practice between sessions.

Sessions are offered in English and conducted online through video, phone, chat, or text formats. She practices in Indiana and holds the UT LCMHC 10318036-6004 and IN LMHC 39004411A licenses.

Approach and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and values and taking meaningful action even when things feel difficult. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by shifting how people relate to their inner experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful habits. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep troubles, and addiction-related concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people build safer ways of relating to others and to themselves.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions may blend techniques so the plan becomes a practical fit rather than a fixed protocol.

Online therapy makes those approaches easier to use in day-to-day life. Video calls let people meet face-to-face from home, phone sessions work when video isn't possible, and live chat or text messaging offers flexible check-ins and skill practice. These options help people fit regular sessions into busy family schedules and maintain continuity through life changes.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
