Attachment-Focused Therapy for Anxiety, Pregnancy & Postpartum
Libby Coufal, LCSW
Compassionate, attachment-based therapy for anxiety and life transitions in California
Insurance Accepted: Cigna, Aetna, Carelon Behavioral Health (Commercial Insurance) , Quest Behavioral Health, & Anthem Blue Cross, California
Libby Coufal provides warm, attachment-informed therapy for adults and young adults navigating anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and major life transitions. She works with clients who feel disconnected from themselves, stuck in relational patterns, or weighed down by anxiety — especially during seasons of change such as pregnancy, postpartum, or shifts in identity and relationships, including postpartum mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs).
Libby believes therapy should feel like an invitation rather than a demand. Her work is grounded in curiosity, collaboration, and mind–body awareness, helping clients feel safe enough to explore what has shaped them while building tools for everyday life. Clients often share that they feel deeply seen, heard, and supported in finding language for experiences that once felt overwhelming or hard to name.
About Libby
Who Libby Works Best With
Libby specializes in working with:
Adults and young adults experiencing anxiety, people-pleasing, or perfectionism
Individuals navigating attachment trauma or the effects of emotional neglect
Women adjusting to late ADHD diagnoses and relational challenges
Perinatal clients navigating pregnancy, postpartum anxiety, and the transition into parenthood
Individuals experiencing identity shifts after becoming a parent
She is a strong fit for clients who want therapy that is relational, gentle, and depth-oriented — not rushed or directive. Libby does not provide crisis services or intensive treatment; her work is best suited for clients seeking ongoing, relational therapy.
Libby’s Approach
Libby’s approach is collaborative, nonjudgmental, and grounded in attachment and nervous system regulation. She integrates both insight-oriented and skills-based work to support healing that feels sustainable and embodied. This approach is especially supportive for anxiety, attachment wounds, and perinatal transitions.
Her work integrates:
Somatic and nervous system regulation to support anxiety and emotional overwhelm
Attachment-based and relational therapy to understand and shift longstanding patterns
CBT and DBT for coping skills and emotional regulation
Narrative and parts work to explore internal experiences with compassion
Psychodynamic and depth-oriented approaches to make meaning of past experiences
Libby is also trained in equine-assisted psychotherapy, and she brings that same body-centered, relational sensitivity into the therapy room today.
What Clients Can Expect
Clients working with Libby often experience:
Greater emotional regulation and nervous system resilience
A more compassionate and trusting relationship with themselves
Increased clarity around attachment and relational patterns
Reduced anxiety during life transitions, including pregnancy and postpartum
A stronger connection to their authentic self
Libby believes healing happens not by forcing change, but by fostering curiosity, self-compassion, and trust.
