About Sara
Sara Laliberte is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Massachusetts with six years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, self-esteem struggles, and depression. She also addresses related issues such as adoption and foster care, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and communication problems.
She views clients as the experts on their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. In sessions she listens, asks practical questions, and helps clients identify small, doable steps. Conversations focus on concrete problems and on what can be changed day to day.
Her background includes several years of direct clinical work with adults navigating life transitions and relationship challenges. That experience informs a straightforward approach to solving recurring problems. She draws on proven, evidence-based techniques while keeping sessions focused and practical.
Clients can expect short-term strategies alongside longer-term skill building. Topics often include coping with anxiety, managing depressive symptoms, improving communication, and negotiating stepfamily roles. The work is paced to match each person’s goals and readiness.
Sessions are offered in English and are provided in line with licensure in Massachusetts. To begin, a brief matching questionnaire helps connect people to a first session and to decide next steps.
Evidence-based techniques and online sessions
Two common evidence-based approaches she uses are cognitive-behavioral techniques and trauma-informed methods. Cognitive-behavioral techniques help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and test small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. Trauma-informed methods focus on stabilizing reactions, building coping routines, and increasing a sense of control after frightening or harmful experiences.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. From that conversation she will suggest methods and check in regularly to adjust the plan collaboratively.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Ask about the available session options when you complete the matching questionnaire so you know how appointments will fit into your routine.
