Sarah Bent is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, trauma, and grief. She works in Indiana and brings eight years of clinical experience to sessions. Her style is warm and affirming, aimed at making people feel heard and understood right away.
She focuses on the whole person rather than just symptoms.

Sarah pays attention to how physical health, caregiving roles, and life transitions affect emotional wellbeing.
Many clients seek her help for relationship communication problems, persistent loneliness, or the strain of caregiving and chronic illness. She also supports people facing end-of-life concerns, aging and geriatric issues, and multicultural challenges. Conversations cover practical steps as well as emotional processing.
Sarah uses Client-Centered Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness techniques to tailor each session. She aims to meet people where they are and work collaboratively on goals that matter to them. Her approach is straightforward and focused on small, achievable changes.
She holds an LCSW credential and has practiced for eight years. People who choose to work with her are guided through clear next steps, from identifying immediate coping tools to planning longer-term goals. Prospective clients are invited to consider whether this practical, compassionate style feels like a good fit before scheduling.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience at the center of sessions. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what is heard, and follows the client’s pace so people feel understood and can explore what matters most. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, grief, and feeling stuck.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing patterns of behavior. It introduces practical exercises and small experiments to reduce symptoms like panic, low mood, and persistent worry. Mindfulness Therapy adds attention to the present moment and gentle practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotion regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and current needs, then suggest methods that fit. Clients and therapist make those decisions collaboratively and adjust them over time as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow follow-up work between meetings. Some formats can suit brief check-ins or shorter sessions when schedules are tight, while others are better for longer, deeper work.
