About Sarah
Sarah Libby is a licensed clinical social worker with 24 years of experience. She practices in Florida and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, and the day-to-day strains of parenting. She also supports people facing grief, trauma, sleep problems, ADHD, and career changes.
Sarah uses straightforward, hands-on methods in sessions. She values creativity and often brings art-based ideas into the room to help people express difficult feelings. She adapts conversations and plans to fit each person’s situation instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach.
Background and approach
Her background includes long experience with children, adolescents, and adults, and she has worked with disability-related concerns and caregiving stress. That experience shapes how she looks at family dynamics, attachment questions, and communication problems. She aims to help people build clearer routines, healthier boundaries, and more effective ways to cope.
In sessions she blends practical skills with deeper emotional work. That can mean learning new coping strategies one week and focusing on relationship patterns the next. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while helping people move toward their goals.
Sarah encourages small, manageable steps. She helps clients set realistic goals, practice new habits, and notice progress. Parents and caregivers often find the creative options useful for making progress feel more doable.
Approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then focus on actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, life transitions, and building purpose-driven routines. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, sleep problems, and coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people rebuild safer, steadier ways of relating to others and to themselves.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and everyday life. That might mean combining skills work with attachment-focused conversation and creative exercises to match what the client needs.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules and different life demands. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a short break or lower bandwidth needs, and live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while adapting to day-to-day life.
