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 dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, self-esteem, motivation, and depression. Sara focuses on practical support and clearer next steps for daily life.
She listens for each person's strengths and uses those as a base for change. Conversations emphasize what the client already knows about their situation, then try small experiments to test new ways of coping. Sessions aim to make problems easier to manage rather than overload someone with theory.
Sara has worked in settings that exposed her to a range of family and relationship strains, including adoption and foster care, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and communication problems. She has also supported people facing caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and issues affecting first responders and veterans.
When trauma or abuse is part of the story, she focuses on building stability and manageable steps before tackling harder material. For parenting questions she helps parents sort priorities, set boundaries, and reduce daily friction. For low mood and anxiety she works on routines, problem-solving, and small behavior changes that reduce overwhelm.
Sara offers sessions in English and practices within Massachusetts. People who want to try working with her complete an online questionnaire and schedule a first session. The approach is collaborative and practical, with an eye toward what fits a client's everyday life.
How evidence-based techniques are used online
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques usually include practical methods that help people manage symptoms and try new behaviors. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing more balanced thoughts to reduce anxiety and low mood. This method teaches concrete skills for everyday situations like job interviews or social pressure.Another approach emphasizes gradual exposure to feared or avoided situations while building coping skills first. That helps people facing trauma-related reactions, avoidance, or intense anxiety take steady steps toward functioning more comfortably in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means checking what feels doable and adjusting as progress is made.
The therapist's profile does not list specific online session formats. Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions fit your routine. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, or caregiving by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins or sessions at different times of day. They can also let someone choose audio-only meetings when bandwidth is limited or schedule sessions that fit a break between commitments.
