Sarah Libby, LCSW

Sarah Libby is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with more than two decades of experience. She focuses on common life stresses like anxiety, career strain, grief, and relationship concerns. She also helps people managing ADHD, bipolar symptoms, trauma and abuse, sleep challenges, and compassion fatigue.

Sarah brings a hands-on, creative eye to therapy and often includes art as part of sessions when it fits the work. She encourages simple, practical steps people can use between meetings. Her manner is respectful and direct, and she tailors conversations to each person’s needs.

Her background includes long experience supporting parents, children, adolescents, and adults living with disabilities and developmental differences. That history informs how she talks about parenting, blended family issues, adoption and foster care, and attachment concerns. She also works with people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, cancer, and aging issues.

Therapy with Sarah mixes evidence-based methods and relationship-focused approaches. She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based and Client-Centered work to address communication problems, control issues, codependency, and commitment concerns. Sessions move at a practical pace and focus on what matters most to each person.

Sarah asks clients to approach change step by step and offers coaching-style support when helpful. She encourages creative expression as part of healing and adapts plans over time to match progress and shifting goals.

How evidence-based approaches guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and to choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors that make problems worse, which can help with sleeping issues, anxiety, and mood management. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns and can be helpful for communication problems, abandonment concerns, and building more stable connections.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sarah will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit each person. That collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted as progress unfolds.

Confirm the current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, avoid travel time, and keep check-ins brief when needed. It also lets people try creative methods in conversation and plan art-based exercises to practice between sessions without promising a particular format.
