About Sarah Libby
Sarah Libby is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed to practice in Florida and Maine, bringing 24 years of professional experience to her therapeutic work. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship and family challenges, parenting concerns, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and a range of life transitions. Her approach blends practical skills with empathy and an emphasis on each person’s unique strengths and goals.
With more than two decades working with children, adolescents, and teens, she has a particular passion for supporting parents and families, and for working with children and adults who have disabilities. Sarah values creative methods and often incorporates art and expressive techniques into treatment to deepen engagement and insight. She notes, however, that creative interventions are most effective in formats that allow visual interaction rather than strictly by phone or chat.
Sarah centers therapy on respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring dialogue and treatment plans to meet individual needs. She works collaboratively to set goals, strengthen coping skills, and support meaningful change. Taking the first step toward a more satisfying life takes courage, and she offers steady support throughout that process.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and build actions that align with those values. It combines acceptance strategies with practical behavior change techniques to address anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current patterns - it examines emotional bonds and helps repair or strengthen connections in families and relationships, often useful for parenting and attachment concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead, supporting self-discovery and confidence building in a collaborative manner.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sarah works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time to ensure a good fit. She values client input and tailors plans to meet individual circumstances.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - video calls allow visual interaction that supports creative and art-based techniques, while phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging provide convenient options for busy schedules or limited mobility. These modalities make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into daily life, and access licensed professionals from different locations.
