About Sarah
Sarah Libby is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 24 years of experience. She practices in Florida and brings a calm, practical approach to people facing stress, anxiety, life changes, and parenting challenges. Her work often centers on helping clients build safety, routine, and clearer communication in daily life.
She often uses Attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationships shape current patterns. That perspective helps when people struggle with trust, abandonment worries, or trouble connecting to others.
Background and approach
Sarah also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Sarah values creativity in therapy and can incorporate art-based exercises when helpful. She finds creative work helps people access emotions and practice new ways of coping.
Because art activities need visual interaction, she notes they are easier in video sessions than in phone or chat formats. Her style is respectful and straightforward. She aims to tailor conversations and goals to each person’s needs and pace.
Sessions focus on real-life problems - parenting stress, sleep difficulties, coping with grief, ADHD challenges, or work and career stress. Sarah has long experience with children and adolescents, and she also supports adults facing chronic illness, caregiver strain, or identity and self-esteem concerns. She emphasizes practical steps, emotional awareness, and building habits that make daily life more manageable.

Online support
How attachment and ACT shape online care
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds affect how people relate now. In sessions this often means noticing patterns of closeness and distance and trying small changes to feel more supported. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck and choose actions that match their values. Both approaches can help with anxiety, relationship worries, grief, and coping with life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean combining attachment ideas with ACT or using CBT or DBT skills for specific symptoms. The plan is adjusted as progress is made and needs change.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to work together. Video calls let the therapist use art-in-therapy and visual tools when helpful. Phone sessions are useful for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging can support quick coping reminders, journaling prompts, and between-session coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep steady momentum between meetings.
