About Libby
Dr. Libby Black works from a Jungian therapy perspective alongside practical, evidence-based methods. She offers straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, trauma, and depression.
Her style is warm and direct, focused on helping people make real changes in day-to-day life. Dr. Black has 18 years of clinical experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York.
She listens for what matters most to each person and builds a clear plan that fits daily routines.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to strengthen coping skills, reduce overwhelm, and restore a sense of control. Her approach combines exploration of personal meaning with practical tools from cognitive behavioral and acceptance-based techniques. That mix helps people manage difficult thoughts and emotions while also attending to deeper patterns that shape behavior.
Work in therapy often includes examining relationships, identity questions, and how early experiences influence current choices. Dr. Black pays attention to issues such as abandonment, caregiving stress, chronic illness, codependency, commitment and communication problems, and the effects of trauma or domestic violence.
She also supports people navigating BDSM, kink, and alternative sexual cultures without judgment. Sessions are offered in English and are available via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Fees vary with location and therapist availability and are billed through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and what online work looks like
Dr. Black combines Jungian therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based work to help people online. Jungian therapy looks at personal symbols, dreams, and life narratives to uncover deeper meaning and recurring patterns. It can help people who want to understand why certain reactions keep happening and how to change them. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then taking values-driven action; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships shaped current ways of relating and is aimed at improving emotional regulation and connection in everyday interactions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. Work is collaborative - methods can shift over time as priorities change and progress is reviewed.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer sessions, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins during a busy day, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or health-related schedules while maintaining regular contact with a licensed professional.
