About Sarah
Sarah Paulick is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy concerns, and related struggles like sleep or eating problems. Sessions focus on practical ways to cope and regain steadiness in day-to-day life.
Her background includes long experience with at-risk youth and adults and with first responders and healthcare workers. That experience informs how she talks about trauma, burnout, and caregiver stress in simple, direct terms. She also pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues that show up in relationships and family dynamics.
In practice she draws on cognitive behavioral methods and acceptance-oriented strategies, along with attachment-based and client-centered ways of working. That means sessions often involve identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing new responses, and naming relationship patterns that keep problems repeating. Practical skills and short exercises are used alongside open conversation.
Sarah uses a mix of trauma-informed tools when trauma or dissociation are present, and she integrates work on emotion regulation when anxiety, anger, or mood swings are part of the problem. Caregiver strain, chronic illness impact, and career stress are also addressed with focused strategies and planning.
Outside of work she enjoys time on the water and with her dogs. The focus in sessions is on clear, manageable steps so people can try different approaches and see what helps in their everyday life.
How sessions work
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while clarifying personal values to guide actions. It can help with anxiety, persistent worry, and making changes that matter in daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises. It is often used for depression, anxiety, sleep and eating difficulties, and for building problem-solving skills.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at recurring relationship patterns and early attachment wounds. It helps people understand how those patterns affect current relationships and learn new ways of relating.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sarah will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying an approach for a few sessions and adapting the plan based on what helps.
