About Sarnell
Sarnell Breedlove is an Ohio-licensed clinical social worker with eight years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and ADHD. She focuses on practical support for relationship strains, family conflict, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, and other life changes. Sarnell aims to make the first step feel manageable for people who are nervous about beginning therapy.
Sarnell builds sessions around clear, down-to-earth conversations. She creates a calm space where clients can share thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.
Background and approach
She uses approaches that are grounded in evidence and adapted to each person's situation. In sessions she helps people identify immediate coping steps and longer-term patterns that get in the way. That can include setting small goals, practicing skills to reduce overwhelm, and looking at how relationships or work affect mood and behavior.
She also addresses multicultural concerns and how identity shapes daily stressors. Sarnell works collaboratively, inviting clients to guide the pace and focus of the work. She offers a straightforward style that balances practical strategies with attention to emotional experience.
The aim is progress that fits real life, not rigid plans. Her Ohio license is listed as LISW, which stands for Licensed Independent Social Worker. Sarnell provides care in English and accepts international clients who can join through remote session options.
Approach-driven online care for focus and life stress
Sarnell uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help with attention, mood, and relationship concerns. One common approach she draws on involves skills training to manage overwhelming feelings and improve daily routines - this helps with anxiety, ADHD-related difficulties, and coping during change. Another approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and to improve decision-making.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sarnell works with each person to find methods that fit their goals, priorities, and daily life. She checks in about how techniques are working and adjusts plans so the therapy stays useful and realistic.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are useful for a fuller conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are good for brief check-ins, homework support, or when a shorter touchpoint fits a busy schedule. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into work, caregiving, or school routines.
