Sarah Libby

Sarah Libby is a licensed clinical social worker with long experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She holds an LCSW and practices in Florida, drawing on more than two decades of clinical work. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a compassionate tone in sessions.

Sarah has a strong interest in parenting challenges and supporting people connected to disability. She has worked with children, adolescents, and teens as a specialty for over 20 years. Her background includes work on trauma, self-esteem, motivation, ADHD, grief, and caregiving stress.

Her approach often includes creative methods, such as using art inside therapy to open new ways of working. She tailors conversations and treatment plans to each person's needs and goals. Creativity is used when it supports engagement and deeper expression.

Sarah uses familiar therapeutic methods like acceptance and commitment techniques, attachment-focused ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral strategies, and skills from dialectical behavior work. She adapts these approaches to practical problems such as sleep, relationships, and workplace stress.

She invites a collaborative process where the person’s goals guide the work. The first steps focus on understanding priorities, building coping skills, and finding workable strategies to make daily life feel more manageable.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then focus on values and small committed steps toward what matters. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early connections affect current interactions; it helps with trust, parenting, and communication struggles. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and uses empathic listening to build insight and confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit. Decisions are collaborative and may combine ideas from more than one approach to match what a person needs.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm options before booking. Many people find online appointments help fit therapy into busy lives by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or making it easier to arrange sessions around family or work commitments. For creative methods like art within therapy, note that some techniques are harder to use by phone or text, so discuss how these activities can be adapted when scheduling.
