About Sarah
Sarah Hewitt is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC, LMHC) with nine years of experience practicing in Indiana. She works with young adults and others facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, depression, and issues with self-esteem. Her listed areas also include addiction, sleep trouble, parenting strain, anger, career concerns, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.
She focuses on getting to the roots of emotional pain and trauma. Sessions often involve talking through past hurts, noticing patterns, and learning ways to respond instead of react. Sarah uses evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy.
In practical terms, she helps people develop skills for emotion regulation and better communication. That can look like building short behavioral experiments, practicing grounding or somatic exercises, and rehearsing new responses to challenging situations. She also works with issues linked to attachment, abandonment, blended families, caregiving stress, chronic illness, body image, and kink-informed conversations when that is relevant.
Her approach is collaborative. She invites clients to reflect on values and goals, and to try techniques that fit daily life. Sessions include validation, motivational interviewing, and options from several therapeutic models rather than one single method.
Sarah has experience across a range of settings since 2016. People who choose her often want concrete strategies for coping and clearer ways to relate to others while addressing deeper trauma and grief.
Background and approach: She draws on CBT and ACT to target thinking patterns and values-based actions. Attachment-based work helps when relationship history keeps showing up in present difficulties. DBT skills are used for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Client-centered ideas guide the session pace so people direct what matters most. Her practice includes work on complex trauma, dissociation, codependency, and communication problems, with attention to practical steps that fit young adult life.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed steps. It helps people who feel stuck or overwhelmed by anxiety or life changes by shifting attention toward what matters and away from unhelpful avoidance.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and addictive patterns by testing beliefs and trying small behavior changes.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. It can help when past abandonment, attachment injuries, or blended family dynamics keep reappearing in adult relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining ACT, CBT, or attachment-focused techniques and adjusting as progress is made.
