About Sabrina
Sabrina trained in educational psychology and holds two graduate degrees from Ohio University, including a Master of Social Work. Her background includes refugee trauma work at resettlement agencies and several years providing individual and group psychotherapy at a university counseling center.
She has also worked in private agency settings on Maryland's Eastern Shore and ran a private practice, offering services to immigrant and non-immigrant communities via telehealth. Those roles contributed to experience with attachment issues, multicultural concerns, immigration-related stress, and postpartum difficulties.
In session she uses a warm, interactive style. Conversations aim to be respectful and straightforward. She leans on approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based thinking, emotionally-focused work, and client-centered listening to help people name and manage what matters most to them.
Sessions focus on honest dialogue, building self-awareness, and practical steps people can try between visits. If someone wants to explore options, they can start by using the site’s matching tool to schedule according to the therapist’s availability.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and make room for actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and emotional bonds, helping clients understand patterns that affect connection and trust. That work often helps with intimacy concerns, family of origin issues, and attachment wounds.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. Together they’ll try approaches, check what helps, and adjust the plan as needed.
If you plan to try online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit visits into a busy week, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue care when relocation or scheduling changes make in-person visits difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused exercises, and ACT-based practices to an online setting so work can continue even when meeting remotely.
