About Sarah
Sarah Libby is a licensed clinical social worker with more than two decades of professional experience. She practices in Florida and brings a calm, creative approach to common life struggles like stress, anxiety, grief, and parenting challenges. Sarah often uses art and creative exercises to help people access deeper feelings and work toward change.
She focuses on practical steps people can use at home. Sessions aim to clarify what matters to the person and build small habits that match those values.
Background and approach
Sarah draws on Jungian ideas about symbols and meaning alongside cognitive and behavioral tools to help people understand patterns that keep them stuck. Families, parents, and individuals facing disability-related concerns are part of her long experience, and she has worked extensively with children, adolescents, and teens across her career.
She pays close attention to attachment issues, abandonment, and communication problems when they affect relationships at home. Her style is warm and respectful. She listens first, then tailors the plan to each person’s needs and goals.
Creative methods are offered when they fit a person’s preferences and the chosen session format. People often come for help with life transitions, career pressure, burnout, or coping with chronic health problems. Sarah combines acceptance-based skills and practical behavior changes so clients can try new ways of handling stress and build confidence over time.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Sarah integrates Jungian Therapy ideas with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. Jungian Therapy emphasizes symbols, dreams, and personal meaning to help people understand deeper life patterns and changing personal narratives. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and building actions that match those values while learning to sit with difficult thoughts and feelings.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds shape current relationships and communication. That approach helps when people struggle with trust, abandonment fears, or repeated relationship patterns. Together these approaches give a mix of meaning-focused exploration and concrete skills for daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to test what fits their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions may mix creative exercises, values-guided actions, and behavior strategies based on what works for the person.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for art-based exercises and a more interactive session, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can serve as brief check-ins, quick coaching, or flexible support between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives and different schedules.
