If you are struggling to cope with symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, insomnia, or other difficulties managing emotions or changes in your life, navigating life and all its responsibilities can feel like an overwhelming task. Life may feel hopeless, pointless, or even impossible to cope with, at times. It is my strong belief that everyone, no matter one’s age, background, or symptoms, is capable of reclaiming ownership over life in a meaningful and healthy way. I can help you to do the same. My primary approach to working with you or your teen is informed by the cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) model, which examines the ways your thoughts, feelings, and actions interact with and influence one another. Ms. Libicki earned her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from American University in Washington, D.C. She earned her Master’s Degree in Counseling with an emphasis in Forensic Psychology from Adler University in Chicago, IL, and is currently finalizing the requirements toward receiving her doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology.

Relationships are the foundation of our identity. Our relational experiences shape our identity, worldview, choices, patterns of interaction, and purpose in life. They let us know what is loveable about us, what needs we can expect to be met, which emotions are acceptable, and what kind of security may or may not be available to us. I work with individuals, couples, families (age 2-18) and parents, helping them understand their experiences of connection and any patterns, protections, wounds, vulnerabilities, adaptations, or indirect strategies for getting their needs met that may have emerged. I look forward to being alongside you. In my work with couples, I focus on strengthening trust, connection, and communication between partners. Where one of you pursues for connection, resolution, and validation and the other withdraws to dial down the tension, avoid conflict, and reduce the emotional intensity, I can help you to slow this dance down, reach for each other, and repair old wounds. I work with families to get to the root of their struggles. Together, we slow your interactions down so everyone can better understand what need is trying to be expressed, what has been missed, and how to meet the need directly so that problematic behaviors are no longer needed. My goal is to help you build a toolbox you can use longer after therapy ends.

Life can be so overwhelming sometimes. What does it take to keep moving forward? I've been there before too. Counseling is my second career. After attending the University of Virginia for my undergrad, I moved to Madrid, Spain. I worked there for three years serving immigrants and refugees. I learned a lot through these cross-cultural experiences. I heard many stories and started adding formative chapters to my own story. These experiences led me to my own counseling. In processing my story, I discovered the power of counseling. View 4 Photos I see counseling a lot like the art of pottery. I have sat with many people who feel like a spoiled lump of clay. But the beauty of both pottery and counseling is that nothing and no one is too far gone. I will offer a warm, non-judgmental atmosphere. Together, I will co-labor with you to help you better understand your story and give it a different ending. Are you ready for resilience? Let's write the rest of your story.
