About Sarah
Sarah Libby is a licensed clinical social worker with more than two decades of practice. She brings 24 years of experience and works from Florida as a therapist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, ADHD, grief, trauma, parenting concerns, and life transitions. She emphasizes a respectful, compassionate tone in sessions and adapts her approach to each person.
Sarah favors creative methods and can include art in therapy when appropriate. She explains options and builds a plan that fits a person's goals and situation.
Background and approach
Her background includes long experience with children, adolescents, and adults, alongside work supporting parents and people caring for others. That history informs how she talks about development, attachment, and family patterns. She also addresses issues such as sleep problems, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue.
Sarah uses a blend of therapeutic approaches to meet real-life needs. This can mean practical skill-building, looking at how thoughts and behaviors connect, and attending to emotional patterns rooted in relationships. She aims for clear steps people can take between sessions.
When art or creative work fits, she integrates it to deepen insight and engagement. For people who prefer talk-based formats, Sarah adjusts techniques to match phone, video, chat, or messaging sessions. She invites gentle curiosity and steady support as people work toward change.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relational patterns and early bonds to help people feel steadier in relationships and parenting roles.Choosing an approach is a shared process. Sarah will listen to your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust over time based on what helps. That collaborative planning means techniques can change as progress is made or life shifts occur.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to work together. Video calls let you use visual cues and creative materials when possible, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging supports quick check-ins or brief coaching between appointments. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between sessions.
