Sarah Libby, LCSW

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 adults, adolescents, and families navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, ADHD, grief, sleep difficulties, and major life transitions. Her practice also supports people facing career stresses, compassion fatigue, chronic illness, and a range of attachment and family dynamics issues.

With more than two decades of experience working with children, adolescents, and teens, she has a particular passion for parenting challenges and supporting children and adults with disabilities. Sarah emphasizes respectful, sensitive, and compassionate care, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person’s unique needs. She draws on a blend of therapeutic approaches to help clients build coping skills, increase self-esteem, and find practical ways to manage daily life.

Sarah encourages creative processes within therapy and often incorporates art-based methods when appropriate, noting that creative work can deepen engagement and make therapy more accessible and meaningful. She is candid that using art can be challenging in phone or chat-only sessions, and she will work with clients to choose the most effective format for their goals. Sarah approaches the first steps of therapy as a courageous act and commits to supporting clients as they pursue a more fulfilling life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Sarah Libby

Sarah Libby draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. ACT helps clients clarify their values, accept difficult emotions, and take committed action toward meaningful goals - it is often useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and early bonds, helping people understand how attachment issues influence current relationships, parenting, and emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sarah works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for those balancing work, family, or health considerations. Sessions can be scheduled as video calls or phone conversations for real-time interaction, or as live chat and text-based messaging for more frequent check-ins and convenience. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access licensed professionals from home or on the go.
