Sarah Libby, LCSW

Sarah Libby is a licensed clinical social worker with more than two decades of experience. She is based in Florida and brings 24 years of practice to work with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting challenges, ADHD, grief, and other life pressures. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in each conversation.

Sarah favors a creative approach and often integrates art into sessions when it will help the work. She says the creative process can make therapy more engaging and help people reach difficult feelings. Because art-based methods are hard to use by phone or chat, she tailors techniques to what will work best in session.

Her style is practical and person-centered. Sessions focus on clear goals, manageable steps, and real skills people can use between meetings. She works with families and parents on communication, boundaries, and everyday routines while also addressing individual concerns like self-esteem, sleep, and career stress.

Sarah draws on several evidence-based methods, including cognitive behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and acceptance-based strategies to help people live by their values. She also uses attachment-informed ideas to look at relationship patterns that affect mood and coping.

Taking the first step can feel hard, and Sarah aims to make it straightforward. She will adapt the plan to each person's needs and interests, whether that means hands-on creative work, coaching-style guidance, or skill-building exercises.

How her approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice their thoughts and feelings while taking steps that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where behavior change and meaning matter.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors. It is useful for sleep problems, anxiety, low mood, and practical skill-building.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape how people relate today. It helps with communication problems, relationship patterns, and issues tied to abandonment or attachment wounds.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sarah works collaboratively to choose methods that fit each person's needs, goals, and preferences. She will discuss options and adjust plans as the work moves forward so the process stays relevant and useful.

Because the biography highlights creative and art-based methods, confirm which session formats support that work before booking. If art work is important, Sarah can advise whether it will fit in an online session. In general, online therapy can make it easier to schedule sessions around work and caregiving, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Check the session options offered when you book to make sure they match your goals and daily routine.
