About Sabrina

Sabrina focuses on building a practical working relationship. She and the client set clear goals and check progress along the way. Sessions use straightforward conversation, skills practice, and brief evidence-informed techniques to help people manage day-to-day symptoms and decisions.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels understood and can choose their direction. It helps when someone needs a steady, responsive way to talk through painful feelings and make decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy builds simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and increase moment-to-moment noticing; it can be useful alongside other techniques for managing overwhelming feelings.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust as those needs change.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can use practical exercises, homework, and real-time skills practice in online meetings to support progress.
