About Sarah
Sarah Libby is a licensed clinical social worker with 24 years of experience practicing in Florida and Maine. She draws on a broad clinical background to support people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship and parenting challenges, grief, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and other life transitions.
Background and approach
Her approach emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring treatment to each person's needs and goals. She values creative methods and often incorporates art into therapy to deepen engagement and explore feelings in nonverbal ways, particularly when working with children, adolescents, and adults who benefit from expressive processes.
Sarah integrates evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral strategies and acceptance-focused work alongside attachment-informed perspectives and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to help clients build coping skills, improve communication, and increase emotional awareness. Sarah aims to collaborate with clients to develop practical, individualized plans for change.
She encourages those taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life and supports them through the process of identifying priorities, practicing new skills, and adapting plans as needs evolve.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options
Sarah integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns, develop practical coping skills, and clarify values to guide change. CBT focuses on skills and behavioral experiments to reduce distress and improve functioning, while ACT emphasizes willingness to experience difficult thoughts and feelings in service of valued action.She also draws on attachment-based ideas to explore relational patterns and how early connections shape current responses to stress and intimacy. That perspective can be helpful for people working on communication, trust, and emotional closeness within relationships. Together these approaches offer both skill-building and deeper relational understanding to address issues like anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, and adjustment to life changes.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to consider goals, preferences, and what techniques feel most useful, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access care from home. These options allow licensed professionals to provide consistent, ongoing support while tailoring session format to what works best for the client.
