About Sara
Sara Laliberte is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Massachusetts with six years of clinical experience. She works with people who face stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, self-esteem struggles, and depression. Sessions are conducted in English and the practice does not take international clients.
She approaches each person as the expert on their own life and builds on existing strengths. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use to manage symptoms and handle everyday challenges. Conversations are direct and focused on what the client wants to change.
Her background includes several years helping people process trauma and abuse, and supporting caregivers and parents dealing with stress and family transitions. She also has experience with issues like isolation, grief around end-of-life care, and challenges faced by first responders and veterans.
In meetings she clarifies goals, breaks larger problems into manageable pieces, and works on skills for handling anxiety and improving confidence. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide these efforts and adapts pacing to what each person can manage.
Clients who choose to work together complete a short intake and then set goals for the first sessions. The approach emphasizes concrete strategies, regular check-ins on progress, and adjusting methods as needed so work stays useful to daily life.
Evidence-based techniques and remote care
Two common evidence-based approaches are skills-focused therapies and trauma-informed methods. Skills-focused work teaches concrete strategies for managing anxiety, stress, and low mood such as breathing, pacing, and behavioral experiments that test fears. Trauma-informed methods help people process difficult memories and reduce their hold on everyday life by pacing exploration and building coping skills first.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and pace, and adjusts those methods as progress is tracked. This means trying different tools and focusing on what actually helps in daily situations.
Confirm current online session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Remote therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and can reduce travel time. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins when that better fits someone’s schedule, or let people avoid being on camera if they prefer less visual interaction.
