About Sarah
Sarah Hershey is a licensed independent social worker in Ohio with 18 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges. She creates a calm space where someone can name what’s hard and begin to move forward.
Sarah values clear, down-to-earth conversation and steady support during difficult moments. Sarah uses practical approaches to help people manage moods and relationships. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how feelings shape connections.
Background and approach
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to build new habits and coping skills. In sessions she listens for patterns that keep a problem alive and then helps someone try different ways of responding. She offers tools for managing worry, handling grief, and improving communication.
Sessions can include short exercises, gentle tracking of thoughts, and focused conversation about emotions. Her work can help when life feels overwhelming after loss, during major changes, or when old relationship patterns keep repeating. She supports people who struggle with self-esteem, impulse control, and persistent mood concerns.
Sarah aims to help people find clearer choices and small steps that make everyday life easier. People meet with her by phone, video call, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire guides the first appointment and scheduling follows from there.

Online support
How Sarah’s Approaches Work Online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name strong feelings and how those feelings affect relationships. Online sessions let someone bring those conversations into their everyday life and practice new ways of relating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and taking actions that match personal values; it is useful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking that feed distress and teaches practical skills for shifting them.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with a person about goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. Decisions are made together, so the work matches the client’s needs, pace, and preferences.
Online care is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit a busy life. Video is good for deeper conversation and exercises that use facial cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text work well for brief check-ins, journaling-style exchanges, or when typing feels easier. These options make it easier to schedule sessions, continue care during transitions, and practice new skills between meetings.
