About Sarah

Sarah Bent is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who practices in Indiana and Maine and focuses on guiding people through complex emotional challenges. She cultivates a compassionate, affirming environment where individuals can explore their strengths and address concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and relationship difficulties. Her work emphasizes respect for each person’s unique story and priorities while offering practical strategies to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Her practice pays particular attention to issues that often intersect with identity and life transitions, including women’s concerns, sexuality, chronic health conditions, and multicultural factors. Sarah supports clients working through isolation, guilt, shame, and communication struggles, and she assists families and caregivers facing role-related stress. She also brings focused experience addressing mood disorders, panic, and trauma-related difficulties.

Sarah aims to help people build self-compassion, strengthen communication, and move toward meaningful growth by combining empathic listening with evidence-informed methods. She works collaboratively with clients to identify goals, develop coping skills, and foster resilience so they can heal from past experiences and create sustainable change.

Approaches That Guide Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective leads the process; it helps people clarify values, increase self-understanding, and build confidence in decision-making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and adjust unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood dysregulation through practical, goal-oriented techniques. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impacts of traumatic experiences with methods that reduce trauma-related distress and support recovery from abuse or overwhelming events.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sarah Bent works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and adapts interventions over time so the treatment fits the client rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or health limitations, and they allow therapists and clients to continue care even when meeting in person is difficult. The combination of evidence-informed approaches and flexible communication helps licensed professionals deliver consistent, accessible support.
