About Isatu
Isatu Sidibe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Alaska. She has nine years of experience helping people who are ready to make changes in their lives. She aims to create a respectful and genuine space where clients can talk through what matters to them.
Isatu focuses on concerns such as depression, anxiety, anger, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and parenting stress. She also supports people facing addictions, bipolar disorder, and major life changes.

Sessions are typically straightforward and focused on small, doable steps that fit daily life.
She has experience running groups and meeting with adolescents and adults, and she has worked with couples in clinical settings. Conversations in sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s readiness. Isatu speaks English and practices across Alaska.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Isatu uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people name their values and take small steps toward them, even when emotions are hard. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions because it focuses on action that matters rather than getting stuck on feelings.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to help people understand how past relationship patterns affect current connections. This approach can be helpful for those who struggle with trust, boundaries, or emotional closeness. When relationship patterns are the focus, elements of the Gottman Method are used to improve communication and manage conflict in practical ways.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Sessions move at a pace set by the client and adapt as goals change.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins, and messaging works well for ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines.
