About Sarah
Sarah Libby is a licensed clinical social worker with 24 years of experience. She practices in Florida and brings a practical, down-to-earth approach to helping people manage stress, anxiety, life changes, and parenting concerns. She focuses on clear, simple work in sessions.
She encourages creative ways to process feelings, including using art when appropriate. Sarah aims to tailor conversations and plans to each person's needs rather than use one fixed approach.
Background and approach
Her background includes long experience helping people with trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and self-esteem. She also offers coaching around career stress and compassion fatigue. Sarah has worked with children, adolescents, and teens for over 20 years and has particular interest in disability and developmental topics.
Therapy here draws from several approaches, including Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centered care, and some cognitive behavioral techniques. Sessions emphasize practical steps, clearer communication, and stronger emotional understanding. Sessions may include talking, skill coaching, and creative activities when formats allow.
The work is paced to the person and focuses on small changes that add up over time. Sarah presents herself as supportive and respectful while helping people move toward goals they set together.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Sarah uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and shift patterns in emotional responses and close relationships, which can be useful when emotions feel overwhelming or repeated interactions cause strain. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients notice tough thoughts and make value-driven choices, useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early patterns that shape how people connect and offers ways to build safer, more predictable emotional responses.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process usually begins with an initial conversation and then adjusts as progress is made.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people hold a fuller conversation and use visual cues, while phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit brief touchpoints into a busy day and to keep momentum between sessions. These options increase flexibility for people juggling work, parenting, and other commitments.
