About Sarah
Sarah Paulick is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 17 years of clinical experience. She works from Florida and focuses on anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, depression, and related life challenges. She aims to create a straightforward, calm space where people can begin to feel steadier and more capable.
Sarah draws on practical approaches to help people reduce overwhelming feelings and manage daily demands. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with attention to emotional experience and real-life habits. Her background includes long-term work in community settings and with high-stress professions. That experience shapes a flexible style that balances skill-building with deeper work on attachment and coping.
She pays attention to how past hurts and current stress interact in everyday life. People often look to her for help with sleep, self-esteem, grief, parenting strain, and challenges like addiction or bipolar mood swings. She also supports issues such as body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency, and first responder concerns.
Therapy sessions can feel like coaching at times and exploration at others. Sarah helps people set clear, manageable steps and practices they can use between meetings. The focus is on building lasting tools to handle change and uncertainty.
How therapy approaches translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still move toward what matters to them. It focuses on values and small actions that make life more meaningful, which can help with anxiety and depression. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills for changing patterns that cause distress. It is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and low mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences. That conversation guides which methods are tried and when to shift focus, so therapy stays relevant and collaborative.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging make it simpler to touch base between sessions or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and daily life.
