About Sarah Libby

Sarah Libby is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Maine and Florida who brings over two decades of professional experience to her work with individuals and families. She has extensive experience supporting people coping with stress and anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflict, parenting challenges, motivation and self-esteem concerns, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Her practice reflects a deep commitment to working with children, adolescents and teens - a specialty she has maintained for more than 20 years - as well as adults facing disability-related challenges.

Sarah has a particular passion for parenting issues and for supporting people affected by disability, adoption and foster care, and attachment concerns. She values creative methods in treatment and often incorporates art and other expressive processes to engage clients and deepen therapeutic work. She explains that while creativity can make therapy more engaging and meaningful, it can be difficult to use art-based techniques in sessions conducted by phone or text.

Known for treating everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion, Sarah tailors conversations and treatment plans to meet each person’s unique needs. She encourages clients to take courageous steps toward a more fulfilling life and positions herself as a supportive collaborator in that process. Her approach blends practical strategies with an openness to creative exploration, aiming to help clients meet their goals and build stronger relationships and coping skills.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions by focusing on what matters most and building practical habits. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how they influence current connections - it supports work on intimacy, parenting, abandonment concerns, and relationship repair. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the client’s experience guides the pace and focus of sessions; this approach helps foster self-esteem, confidence, and personal insight.

Finding the right combination of methods is part of the therapeutic process, and Sarah collaborates with each client to identify approaches that best fit their needs, goals and preferences. She tailors interventions while remaining responsive to how clients want to work and what feels most helpful for them.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone appointments, live chat or text-based messaging to accommodate different lifestyles and energy levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care, access support from a distance, and integrate therapy into daily life with less disruption.
