About Isatu
Isatu Sidibe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Alaska with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, anger, grief, stress, relationship struggles, and life changes. She also supports those dealing with addiction, trauma, intimacy concerns, parenting questions, bipolar mood concerns, and codependency-related patterns.
Sidibe has worked across community mental health, hospitals, schools, and correctional settings. That range means she is used to clear goals and practical support. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what can change next. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives while offering tools and perspective.
Her ways of working bring several evidence-based methods into the room. She draws on cognitive behavioral approaches to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She uses elements of dialectical behavior techniques to teach emotion regulation and coping skills. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current ones.
In session she keeps the work straightforward and goal-oriented. People can expect to learn new ways to set limits, manage mood swings, cut through people-pleasing, and address substance-related problems. The focus is on small, practical steps that fit into daily life.
Sessions are offered in English and are set up through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, use the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking actions that match what matters to the person. It can help when someone feels stuck by people-pleasing or avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete steps to change patterns that keep problems going. That can be useful for anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Attachment-Based Therapy considers how past relationships shape current reactions and connection strategies, which can help with intimacy issues and codependency patterns.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to the client's concerns and goals and suggest which methods to try. Together they will adjust the plan based on what feels helpful and what leads to workable change in day-to-day life.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals often tailor exercises, homework, and emotion-regulation practice to suit remote sessions so the work can be practical and applicable between meetings.
