About Isatu

Isatu Sidibe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Alaska. She brings nine years of experience helping people make changes in their lives. Her approach aims to be respectful, practical, and straightforward.

She emphasizes the client's own strengths when working through hard situations. Sidibe has worked in a range of settings, including community mental health, hospitals, schools, and correctional facilities. That background means she is familiar with urgent life changes, grief, and issues tied to trauma and substance use.

Background and approach

She has also supported people facing depression, anxiety, anger, and relationship struggles. Her work draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy along with cognitive behavioral ideas and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. She uses client-centered and strengths-based methods to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding.

Sessions often focus on clear goals and small steps people can use between meetings. Sidibe also has experience with group work and with helping people who face parenting challenges, codependency, communication problems, and the emotional effects of medical conditions such as cancer. She pays attention to attachment concerns, abandonment issues, and feelings of emptiness or shame.

Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. The therapist uses an approach that helps people set practical goals and practice new skills at a pace that fits their life. To begin, a person chooses the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules a time based on therapist availability.

Online support

Emotional work and practical tools online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name feelings, deepen emotional connection, and change long-standing interaction patterns that cause pain. It can be useful for relationship and intimacy-related struggles and for people who want to understand how emotions drive their reactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing thoughts without being controlled by them and choosing actions that match personal values; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by focusing on meaningful behavior change. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they shape current bonds, which can clarify issues around abandonment, trust, and communication.

Figuring out the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to see what fits their needs and goals. Together they may try one method, blend techniques, or shift direction as progress and preferences become clearer.

Online formats make regular work more practical. Video calls approximate face-to-face sessions, phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, and live chat or text-based messaging allow for written check-ins and ongoing support between meetings. These options offer scheduling flexibility and multiple ways to connect while continuing the same therapeutic work.
