About Sarah
Sarah Paulick is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 17 years of experience. She practices in Florida and brings a calm, straightforward approach to people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, and anger. Her style is practical and down-to-earth.
She aims to help people find steady footing during hard times. Sarah focuses on helping people cope with life changes, grief, addictions, mood concerns, and relationship or family problems. She also supports those facing burnout, caregiver strain, first-responder challenges, and issues tied to attachment and abandonment.
Background and approach
She uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. In sessions she listens closely and works with each person to set clear, achievable goals. Conversations center on skills you can use day to day - managing strong emotions, improving communication, and shifting unhelpful patterns.
She balances concrete tools with attention to past hurts that still affect current life. Sarah often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change thinking patterns and dialectical behavior ideas for emotional regulation. She also uses acceptance-based and attachment-focused approaches to support values, connection, and healing.
The methods are selected to fit what each person needs rather than following one fixed plan. Outside of work she enjoys time on the water and being with her dogs. Her practical, compassionate manner is aimed at helping people build the routines and skills that make daily life more manageable.

Approach and online therapy options for emotional regulation
Sarah commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in her online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and anger. Acceptance and commitment therapy emphasizes values and practical steps to build a meaningful life while learning to respond differently to difficult feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Together they try tools, review what helps, and adjust the plan over time so therapy fits the person rather than the other way around.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversations and longer work on emotional skills. Phone calls can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and messaging let people share thoughts between sessions or use shorter check-ins without scheduling a full call. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between visits.
