About Sarah
Sarah Paulick is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 17 years of experience in clinical work. She practices in Florida and focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and life changes. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at supporting daily functioning and emotional recovery.
She works with people facing a wide range of concerns, including addiction, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep and eating struggles, and challenges tied to parenting and caregiving. Codependency, attachment wounds, and family of origin problems are among the additional areas she addresses. Her background includes extensive work with first responders and health professionals, and many years supporting people affected by trauma.
In sessions she uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, attachment-based work, dialectical behavior therapy, and client-centered therapy. Conversations focus on identifying patterns, building coping skills, and practicing new ways of relating to oneself and others. The tone is collaborative and strengths-based, with attention to practical tools for everyday life.
Sarah aims to help clients notice what they value, set manageable goals, and make step-by-step changes. She also supports emotion regulation and ways to rebuild trust in relationships. Her style blends symptom-focused strategies with attention to personal history and relationships.
Outside of work she enjoys time on the water, activities with her dogs, learning, travel, and trying new restaurants with friends and family.
How therapy approaches shape online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT helps people identify what matters most and take small steps toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that keep someone stuck.Attachment-Based Therapy - This work focuses on how early relationships affect current trust and closeness. It can help people who struggle with abandonment, codependency, or repeating relationship patterns.
Client-Centered Therapy - This approach centers on the person’s own goals and pace. The therapist listens closely and supports self-directed growth and decision making.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That process may combine elements from different approaches to match what helps most.
Confirm the session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full visit isn’t needed. It also lets people use tools and worksheets between meetings so progress continues outside session time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises like behavioral experiments, values work, and emotion regulation skills to remote visits, keeping the focus on practical steps for everyday life.
