About Sarah

Sarah Paulick is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 17 years of experience. She practices in Florida and brings practical help to people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Her style is straightforward and focused on helping people find useful tools they can use between sessions.

Sarah often uses trauma-informed methods and EMDR therapy among other approaches to address painful memories and strong reactions. She helps people notice how past experiences shape present responses and works to build skills for managing emotion and behavior.

Background and approach

Her work aims to reduce distress and increase day-to-day functioning. Sessions include talking through patterns, trying simple behavioral strategies, and practicing skills for regulating emotions. She also explores attachment wounds, codependency, and issues tied to family of origin.

When relevant, she addresses concerns such as grief, caregiving stress, chronic illness, dissociation, and first-responder stress. Sarah blends evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance and commitment ideas with client-centered listening. She emphasizes clear steps and practical exercises that a person can use right away.

Clients are treated with respect and met where they are in their process. Outside of clinical work she enjoys time on the water, playing with her dogs, traveling, and trying new restaurants. Her background with at-risk youth and many years working in community settings inform a calm, experienced approach.

Online support

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions when someone wants clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting and shifting patterns of thought and behavior that cause distress. It often involves small homework tasks and skill practice between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people build healthier ways of relating.

Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. She will discuss goals and preferences and suggest strategies to try. Together the therapist and client review what helps, and the plan is adjusted over time to match progress and needs.

Online sessions offer flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, skill coaching between sessions, or when messaging fits a person's schedule. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy days while using the clinical approaches described above.
