Therapy Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Sarah Libby draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be adapted to online sessions while staying grounded in what matters most to each client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new ways of responding, which can be especially useful for stress, anxiety, low mood, and day-to-day overwhelm. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress without getting stuck in reactive cycles. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward personal values, which can support people facing transitions, burnout, or ongoing pressure.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sarah collaborates with clients to clarify goals, understand what has and has not helped before, and choose strategies that fit their preferences, pace, and situation. The work can evolve over time as needs change and new insights emerge.
Online therapy also offers flexible ways to connect. Clients can meet through video calls or phone sessions, and they can use live chat or text-based messaging when a written format feels more accessible. These options can make it easier to fit support into a busy schedule and maintain momentum between sessions.
