About Libby
Dr. Libby Black is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with 18 years of experience. She works with adults who face depression, anxiety, stress, addictions, relationship concerns, and the effects of past trauma and abuse. She supports people who want clearer boundaries, steadier mood, or better ways to handle everyday pressure.
Her work often focuses on patterns that begin in the family someone grew up in. She helps people notice repeated roles, expectations, and ways of relating that still show up now. Conversations look at how early bonds shaped current trust, closeness, and conflict in relationships.
In sessions she uses practical, evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based approaches. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Client-Centered principles to help people build coping skills and stronger emotional regulation.
Her background includes long-term clinical work with adults managing mood disorders, anxiety, and relationship difficulties. She has experience helping people who face caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency, commitment worries, and separation or divorce issues.
People who choose her can expect straightforward conversations about patterns, skills to manage distress, and attention to how family of origin experiences affect current choices.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and when old family expectations feel limiting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thought patterns and testing them with practical experiments, which helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current connection and trust, and can help when family of origin patterns affect intimate or close relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit those needs. Sessions can shift focus as progress unfolds so the plan reflects what helps most in real life.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Clients should review the available formats on the booking page and choose what fits their schedule and comfort.
