About Sarah
Sarah Gilbert is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship problems, addiction, career questions, and life transitions. She is Sarah Gilbert, LICSW, and she aims to create a calm space where people can talk about what feels hard right now. She uses a person-centered style that lets clients set the pace and focus.
Sessions emphasize practical tools for day-to-day challenges as well as time to talk through feelings.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is part of her toolbox to help people notice patterns of thinking and try different responses. Sarah also draws on Jungian ideas to help people connect with deeper themes and personal meaning when that fits their goals. Motivational Interviewing is used when people are weighing change and need help clarifying what matters most.
Solution-Focused techniques help set small, achievable steps when problems feel overwhelming. With 18 years of experience in Alabama, she blends talk-based work with straightforward strategies. She works at the client’s pace and helps build coping plans when problems can’t be fully solved right away.
That approach supports people navigating grief, ADHD, chronic illness, addiction, parenting strains, and compassion fatigue. Sarah speaks English and offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Her practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and session cost varies based on location and availability.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Jungian Therapy looks at symbols, dreams, and personal stories to help people find meaning and stronger sense of self. It can be useful when someone wants to understand recurring life patterns or deepen self-awareness.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. This approach supports people who need a steady, accepting space to sort feelings and make decisions at their own pace.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thinking and tries practical steps to change behavior and mood. It is often chosen for anxiety, depression, and managing day-to-day stress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaboration. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that match the situation, and adapt over time so the work fits the client’s needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video allows for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone works well when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let clients send shorter messages between sessions and fit therapy into a busy schedule. These options make it easier to keep regular contact and to use therapeutic tools in everyday life.
