About Sarah

Sarah Paulick is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 17 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and challenges such as low self-esteem, relationship strain, grief, and addictions. Sarah also focuses on issues like parenting stress, caregiver strain, eating and sleeping problems, and work-related burnout. Sessions are conducted in English.

Her background includes long-term work with at-risk youth and adults. That experience informs how she talks about trauma, attachment, and the patterns that keep people stuck. She uses plain language to help clients name feelings and notice patterns in everyday life.

Sarah draws on several therapy approaches to match what a person needs. She lists Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among her methods. In practice she combines these to address things like abandonment wounds, communication problems, chronic pain and dissociation.

Expect a focus on skills for managing anxiety and mood, tools for navigating relationship and family problems, and work on meaning after crises. She can help first responders and healthcare workers who face job-related stress and compassion fatigue. The aim is practical change through clearer emotional understanding and day-to-day coping skills.

To get started, readers are encouraged to follow the site's process for matching and scheduling a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Sarah blends EFT, ACT and attachment work online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is focused on identifying and naming emotions and the interaction patterns they create. It is often used when people want to change repeated emotional reactions or improve how they relate to others. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and clarify what matters most so they can act toward those values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current feelings and behavior and helps people rework those patterns for healthier responses.

Finding the right approach usually happens together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, life context, and what feels most useful. Then the work draws from EFT, ACT, or attachment ideas as needed rather than sticking to a single method.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, avoid travel time, and keep appointments during changes in routine. Different formats can also suit different needs - for example phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or require less bandwidth, while video sessions allow for face-to-face interaction and nonverbal cues. Ask about the current session options when you schedule.
