About Sara
Sara Laliberte is a licensed independent clinical social worker with six years of professional experience in Massachusetts. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, and symptoms of depression. She also supports parents facing parenting challenges and people coping with trauma and abuse.
Sara centers sessions on each person's strengths. She treats clients as the experts on their own stories and helps them build on what already works. The approach is practical and encouraging, aimed at small changes that add up over time.
How Sara works
Her work extends to concerns connected to family life and relationships, such as blended family issues, adoption and foster care questions, and communication problems. She also addresses caregiver stress, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and the strain that comes with divorce or separation.
Sara has additional experience supporting people affected by domestic violence, infidelity, hospice and end-of-life decisions, first responder stress, and veteran and armed forces issues. She takes a steady, compassionate approach when difficult events are part of a person’s history. Sessions are offered in English.
She aims to help people find realistic next steps, whether the goal is symptom relief, clearer choices, or renewed motivation to move forward.

How evidence-based approaches work online
Sara uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in a straightforward way. One common approach focuses on identifying patterns that keep stress and anxiety active, then trying small behavioral or thinking changes to reduce their hold. Another approach addresses reactions to trauma by helping people make sense of what happened and find ways to feel safer and more grounded in day-to-day life.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then adapt strategies to fit the person's needs. Clients and the therapist review progress together and adjust methods when needed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats help fit therapy into work breaks, caregiving schedules, and busy lives while keeping treatment focused and practical.
