About Sarah

Sarah Paulick is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and relationship and family concerns. Sarah also supports those coping with addictions, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping struggles, ADHD, and codependency.

She often works with people who carry heavy responsibilities for others. Sessions focus on spotting repeating patterns such as people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or losing a sense of self in relationships. Conversations aim to make those patterns clearer and more manageable in daily life.

Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. Therapy sessions include practical skills from cognitive behavioral therapy and emotion-focused tools to help with thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationships shape current needs and reactions.

Sarah blends skills work with longer conversations that examine past hurt and current coping. She uses strategies for regulating intense emotions and for steadying life when things feel overwhelming. Sessions are set up so people can try new ways of relating and notice what changes.

People who reach out can expect straightforward, goal-oriented work. Sarah encourages small, concrete steps that fit into everyday life. To begin, readers are asked to follow the site flow to match and schedule an initial session.

How sessions work

How her approaches map to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take small steps toward values-based living. This can be useful for anxiety, stress, and getting unstuck from old patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current needs and reactions. In sessions this often means naming attachment patterns and practicing new ways of asking for what you need.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick approaches that fit their goals, preferences, and what feels doable. That decision can shift over time as progress and challenges become clearer.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting people join from different locations. These practical benefits help therapy sit alongside work, caregiving, or medical appointments without promising any particular outcome.
