She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. Sabrina describes her approach as using Client-Centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques to help people manage symptoms and build skills.
She focuses on practical strategies in sessions. That includes identifying thinking patterns that keep problems going, using mindfulness to manage strong emotions, and setting small concrete goals for change. Sabrina also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques when people want help clarifying values and setting doable steps forward.

She notes work with communication problems, drug and alcohol addiction, guilt and shame, forgiveness, sexual assault and abuse, and issues related to prejudice and discrimination. She also lists veteran and armed forces issues among her focus areas.
Sessions aim to be collaborative. The therapist listens for what is most urgent and then works with the person to try practical tools first. Progress is tracked with steps that can be adjusted over time.

How Sabrina’s approaches can work remotely
Sabrina uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, reflection, and supporting the person’s own goals. This approach helps when someone needs a chance to talk through experiences and clarify what matters to them.She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, anger, and some addiction-related concerns because it breaks problems into manageable steps.
Mindfulness Therapy is another tool she uses to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of the present moment. Mindfulness exercises can help with stress, trauma symptoms, and managing intense emotions.
Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to test methods and adjust plans based on needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can combine elements from different approaches when that fits the client.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking. The therapist’s biography does not list particular online or in-person formats, so check current options when you select a session. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Licensed professionals adapt methods so skills and homework can be practiced between sessions and integrated into daily life.
