Sarah Hewitt , LCMHC, LMHC

Sarah Hewitt is a licensed clinical mental health counselor who brings nine years of experience supporting individuals, families, and children through a wide range of life challenges. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, parenting concerns, sleep problems, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and issues related to self-esteem and intimacy. Her practice also addresses more specific concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, dissociation, and the complexities of blended families and divorce.

She holds the credentials LCMHC and LMHC - LCMHC stands for Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and LMHC stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor - reflecting her formal training and licensure in clinical counseling. Over her career she has worked with diverse populations and brings a trauma-informed, compassionate stance to therapeutic work, emphasizing self-reflection and skill-building to reduce the burden of stored pain.

Her clinical approach blends evidence-based methods including cognitive behavioral tools and acceptance-based practices with somatic exercises, validation, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness-oriented techniques. She frames therapy as a collaborative process in which the individual is seen as the expert on their own life, and she aims to foster self-compassion, emotional processing, and practical coping strategies so people can respond rather than react.

Sarah provides a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where individuals and families can explore roots of pain, process emotions, and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and build flexible strategies for acting in line with those values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and for learning to tolerate difficult emotions while moving toward meaningful goals. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating that develop in close relationships, helping clients understand how early bonds shape current connections and offering ways to strengthen trust, intimacy, and emotional safety.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, centers on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more adaptive strategies. CBT is practical and skills-oriented, and it often helps with anxiety, mood concerns, trauma-related symptoms, and problem-solving in relationships and daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work and is approached collaboratively. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and adapt methods accordingly so that treatment fits the individual rather than the other way around.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility by allowing sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules, access support from home or work, and continue care despite geographic or mobility limitations, while still working with a licensed professional using evidence-informed approaches.
