About Sarah
Sarah Paulick is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 17 years of clinical experience. She practices from Florida and brings a steady, practical approach to helping people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and life changes. Sarah uses clear, direct conversation to help clients find what works for them now.
Her work starts by listening to each person’s story and noticing the patterns that cause pain. She helps people name hard events, understand how those events affect daily life, and try small changes that add up.
Background and approach
Sarah draws on Narrative Therapy to reframe personal stories and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people accept difficult feelings while moving toward what matters most. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationships shape current bonds and expectations.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort. Sarah has supported people dealing with grief, relationship struggles, parenting stress, addiction concerns, coping after loss, and stress related to caregiving and first-responder work. She also addresses body image, eating and sleeping problems, and work-related burnout.
The goal is to help clients build practical skills and clearer direction. Outside of therapy she enjoys time near water and activities with her dogs. Her practice balances direct tools with attention to each person’s life story and values.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Sarah uses Narrative Therapy to help people retell and reframe the stories they live by, which can reduce shame and reveal different choices. Narrative work is helpful for grief, identity questions, and long-standing patterns that feel stuck.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to teach skills for noticing painful thoughts and feelings while moving toward meaningful actions. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and life transitions. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about how early relationships shape current expectations and closeness, which can help with intimacy-related concerns and communication problems.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods to try, revisiting choices as needs and goals change. Sessions focus on practical steps, experimenting with new responses, and tracking what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging lets clients send notes or reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between meetings.
