About Sarah
Sarah Libby is a licensed clinical social worker with 24 years of experience. She practices in Florida and works with adults on stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, ADHD, grief, trauma, and related concerns. Sarah aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where people can talk about what feels hard and begin practical change.
Her background includes long-term work with children, adolescents, and adults, and a strong interest in supporting parents and people caring for others.
How Sarah works
She brings experience across a wide range of life issues - career shifts, chronic illness, caregiving strain, attachment concerns, and relationship difficulties among them. Sarah uses a mix of practical approaches to match each person’s needs.
She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address thoughts and habits, acceptance and commitment strategies to sort values and action, and attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns. She also uses client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on each person’s priorities. Creativity is part of her practice when it fits a person’s goals.
She offers art-based activities to deepen work when sessions are in person or on video, noting that creative tools are harder to use by phone or chat. Sessions are shaped around what a person finds most useful and doable. Sarah emphasizes collaboration.
She helps people set small goals and build skills for coping with life changes, sleep problems, self-esteem struggles, and compassion fatigue. Her style is practical, warm, and attentive to each person’s story.

Online support options
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, life changes, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and trying different behaviors to change mood and functioning; it is often applied to sleep problems, anxiety, and low self-esteem.Choosing an approach is a joint effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s situation and adjust as needed so the work feels relevant and manageable.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let Sarah use art-based activities and visual tools when those approaches will help. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short updates, skill practice, or when written reflection helps a person process between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family, work, or caregiving schedules.
