Sarah Bent, LCSW

Sarah Bent is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) licensed in Indiana and Maine with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and grief. She writes plainly about practical problems and offers focused support for mood and trauma-related concerns.

Sarah uses straightforward conversation to clarify what matters most to each person. She draws on client-centered work to listen for values and goals. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to notice patterns in thoughts and actions. Sessions emphasize clear steps people can try between meetings.

Her background includes helping people facing chronic illness, caregiving strain, and aging or end-of-life concerns. She also works with issues around communication, feelings of emptiness, guilt, and multicultural stressors. That experience shapes how she notices health, family roles, and daily responsibilities in therapy.

In sessions she pays attention to how life demands - work, money, health, and relationships - affect mood and behavior. She blends mindfulness practices to help people manage overwhelming feelings and Trauma-Focused Therapy when histories of abuse or injury need direct attention. The focus is practical: small, testable changes and clearer choices.

People who choose Sarah should expect plain language, goal-focused planning, and a steady emphasis on what can be changed now. She asks about daily routines and responsibilities so therapeutic work fits everyday life. The first meetings typically clarify priorities and outline simple steps to try between sessions.
