About Sara
Sara Laliberte is a licensed clinical social worker who uses evidence-based techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and depression. She works with parents on common parenting concerns and supports people who want to build self-esteem and confidence. She emphasizes practical steps and clear goals in short, direct conversations.
Sara holds an MA and practices in Massachusetts as an LICSW. Sara approaches each person as the expert on their own life.
Background and approach
She looks for strengths the person already has and builds from there. Sessions focus on small, doable changes that add up over time. The therapist keeps language clear and straightforward so it is easy to apply between visits.
Her work includes supporting people navigating adoption and foster care matters, blended family issues, and caregiver stress. She also helps with relationship concerns such as communication problems, separation or divorce, and infidelity. Other areas she addresses include grief at end of life, isolation, and issues faced by first responders and veterans.
Sara began practicing professionally six years ago and combines practical tools with steady support. She encourages clients to try new skills in real life and bring back what did or did not work. This approach helps tailor the work to each persons pace and goals.
People who choose Sara can expect clear, goal-oriented sessions delivered in everyday language. She helps set realistic steps and checks in on progress. Her style is supportive without being overly technical.
Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life
Two common evidence-based approaches Sara uses are cognitive-behavioral techniques and trauma-informed strategies. Cognitive-behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Trauma-informed strategies prioritize safety, pacing, and building coping skills after difficult experiences.Each approach is explained in plain terms during early sessions so the person can decide what feels most useful. Finding the right fit is part of the work and Sara will team up with clients to pick techniques that match their goals, pace, and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around parenting schedules, work, or caregiving tasks. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, while chat or messaging can provide shorter check-ins and skill practice between appointments.
Overall, online options make it simpler to try therapy without major travel. The therapist and client collaborate to decide which format and approach best support progress and daily life.
