About Sarah

Sarah Libby is a licensed clinical social worker with 24 years of experience. She practices in Florida and brings a long history of helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood changes, and trauma. She also supports those facing parenting challenges and people living with ADHD and disabilities. Her work tends to be practical and person-centered. She uses creative methods, including art, when helpful to deepen conversations and engagement. Sarah adapts sessions to each person’s needs and focuses on building skills that help in day-to-day life. She has spent more than two decades working with children, adolescents, and teens as a specialty. That background informs how she approaches parenting concerns and developmental issues across the lifespan. She aims to meet people where they are and to offer respectful, compassionate care. Sarah draws on several therapy styles, including cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance-based work, to address mood, anxiety, and relationship concerns. She also uses attachment-informed ideas to look at how early relationships influence present struggles. Dialectical strategies can be part of treatment when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Clients describe practical goal-setting, clearer coping tools, and a collaborative planning process. If art or creative activities are wanted, Sarah will discuss how those can fit into sessions. To begin, people follow the site’s intake steps to match and schedule with her.

How Sarah’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on what matters most to you and helps build small actions that move you toward those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful reactions and improve mood and sleep. Attachment-Based Therapy examines relationship patterns that formed early in life and helps people develop healthier ways of relating and managing emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sarah will listen to your goals, try different techniques, and collaborate on a plan that fits your needs and preferences. She adjusts methods over time so the therapy stays relevant to your progress.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing talks from wherever you are. It can also let sessions be shorter check-ins when that fits a schedule, or allow use of screen-based activities and shared materials during a session. Discuss format preferences during the matching process so the chosen way of working supports your goals and daily routine.
