About Sarah

Sarah Libby is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 24 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, career concerns, parenting, ADHD, trauma, grief, and related challenges. She emphasizes practical steps and a respectful, compassionate approach when people first reach out.

She has worked with children, adolescents, and adults and has over two decades of experience with parenting and disability-related concerns. Sarah favors creative approaches and often integrates art into sessions when it fits a person's needs and goals.

Sarah uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify thinking patterns that keep people stuck. Attachment-based ideas and client-centered listening shape how she builds trust and explores relationships.

Sessions are tailored to what each person wants to work on. She helps people tackle everyday problems like sleeping, self-esteem, communication, and work-life balance. She also supports people managing longer-term issues such as bipolar disorder, chronic illness, or grief.

Sarah stresses collaboration: clients set goals and she adapts the tools to meet them. She encourages creative exercises when helpful, while noting some creative methods are harder to use without in-person tools. Her style is calm, practical, and focused on what clients can do between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take small, doable steps toward those values. It often helps with stress, life changes, and motivation by focusing on actions rather than perfect feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them; it is commonly used for anxiety, sleep problems, and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes how early and current relationships shape reactions and connection, which can help with relationship challenges and attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust as needed over time so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as this profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during a lunch break or scheduling around work hours. Some therapeutic activities, like art-based exercises, may be harder to do without in-person materials, and the therapist will discuss practical adaptations when needed.
