About Sarah
Sarah Libby is a licensed clinical social worker with two decades plus of practice helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. She brings 24 years of clinical experience and works from Florida as an LCSW. Her background includes supporting parents and people facing career pressure, grief, sleep problems, and mood concerns like bipolar disorder.
She tends to keep sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on daily coping, clearer communication, and small steps that change routines.
Background and approach
She uses creative activities when they fit the work, especially with parenting and developmental concerns, because art can open new ways to talk about hard things. Sarah combines several approaches to match what a person needs. That can mean learning skills for managing intense emotions, looking at unhelpful thinking patterns, or exploring attachment experiences that affect relationships.
She adapts sessions for adults who need help with ADHD, chronic illness, caregiving strain, or compassion fatigue. People who prefer an empathetic, down-to-earth style may find her approach helpful. She aims to listen carefully, offer practical tools, and build a plan around each person’s goals.
Treatment plans are adjusted over time as needs change. Sessions may include talk, skill practice, or guided activities. When appropriate, she suggests art-based options to deepen work.
The emphasis is on usable strategies to handle stressors and move toward better daily functioning.

Online support
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, life transitions, and chronic stress where values-based action can provide direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing thinking patterns and behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, sleep issues, mood concerns, and coping with ADHD or stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try an approach, and adjust based on what helps most. That decision is collaborative and revisited as needs change.
Online therapy with Sarah can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, check-ins, and tools that fit into a busy day. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into caregiving schedules, work breaks, or when travel makes in-person visits difficult.
