About Sarah

Sarah Hewitt is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) licensed in Utah and an LMHC licensed in Indiana with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, and problems with sleep, self-esteem, and addiction. She also lists work around family concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, career adjustments, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Sarah focuses on finding what sits at the root of a person’s difficulty. She helps people name painful memories and reactions, and then practices ways to respond instead of react. Sessions often include emotion work and skill building aimed at day-to-day functioning and calmer relationships.

Her approach draws from cognitive behavioral methods and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, with attention to attachment patterns. Sarah also uses client-centered techniques and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach coping skills. These methods are used to reduce distress and improve how people relate to themselves and others.

She has worked with a range of presentations including trauma, ADHD, parenting concerns, blended family issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and sexual diversity topics such as BDSM and kink. She notes experience supporting people through abandonment and attachment difficulties, dissociation, codependency, and communication problems.

Sessions are arranged through an online intake process that uses a short matching questionnaire and a subscription-based payment model that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients should confirm the current session formats before booking.

How sessions work

How her approaches shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small, practical steps toward a life that matters to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early and current relationship patterns influence reactions today and helps people try new ways of relating.

Picking the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision can shift as sessions continue and progress or setbacks occur, with techniques adjusted to match what helps most.

The original biography does not specify session formats here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Many people find that using practical CBT or DBT skills, practicing ACT exercises, and discussing attachment patterns can be done effectively in remote sessions when scheduling and location are a challenge.
