Psychosocial Therapy
Sara Ridley Counseling Practice
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LISW
I provide online therapy to individuals across Ohio who are navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, fertility challenges, and the emotional transitions of pregnancy and parenthood. With over 15 years of experience as a Licensed Independent Social Worker, I offer compassionate, trauma-informed care grounded in evidence-based practices. I have completed Postpartum Support International’s Components of Care and Advanced Psychotherapy trainings and specialize in perinatal and reproductive mental health.
My approach is collaborative, thoughtful, and practical. I help clients better understand their nervous systems, mood patterns, and relational dynamics so they can feel more stable, empowered, and connected. Whether you are preparing for parenthood, coping with postpartum changes, processing a traumatic experience, or feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or depression, therapy can be a space to slow down, make meaning, and build resilience.

Psychosocial Therapy
Alan Jacobson, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, Nationally Registered Health Service Provider
I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families to create meaningful, measurable change in how they feel, function, and relate to others. My approach is evidence-based, empathic, and solution-focused, with therapy centered on helping you achieve clear goals so that progress is noticeable in daily life. I work with a wide range of concerns—including anxiety, low mood, loss, self-doubt, and life transitions—and have particular expertise in performance psychology, public speaking anxiety, panic attacks, fear of flying, and questions of purpose or meaning. If you’re unsure whether therapy is the right next step, I also offer a one-time consultation assessment to help clarify what may be contributing to your current stress and identify effective pathways forward, whether through therapy or other strategies.

8 Years Experience
Online in Akron, OH Ohio
Akron's identity as the 'Rubber City' — once the world capital of tire manufacturing — has given way to a post-industrial economy navigating transformation, and therapists here frequently address the long-term psychological effects of deindustrialization: economic stress, community grief, and the identity challenges of a workforce that has had to reinvent itself across generations. The city is home to the University of Akron and has a growing health sciences and polymer science sector, creating a more economically diverse population than its industrial reputation suggests. Summa Health System and Cleveland Clinic Akron General provide institutional mental health resources alongside a private therapy community concentrated in West Akron, Fairlawn, and the Highland Square neighborhood. Akron's significant Black community and the city's ongoing recovery from decades of economic decline shape a therapy culture in which community resilience and racial equity are recurring clinical themes.
