Background and approach

Trauma-informed methods are part of her work. She helps people who have experienced trauma process difficult memories and reduce symptoms that get in the way of daily life. Mindfulness practices are used to build calmer moments and clearer focus during stressful times.

Her experience includes a broad range of concerns, such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family matters, parenting, self-esteem, bipolar and mood issues, ADHD, and coping with life changes. She also addresses attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, self-harm, impulsivity, and related challenges. Sabrina communicates in English and offers sessions to people in North Carolina and internationally.

Messaging responses are typically once per day, Monday through Saturday, usually after 5:00 p.m. Eastern time. The first session is a chance to decide together whether to continue and how to proceed.

Online support

How these approaches work online

Sabrina often uses client-centered work to focus on what matters most to the person. This approach emphasizes listening, understanding priorities, and shaping goals together. It helps when someone wants a supportive space to figure out next steps.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. Online sessions can include simple exercises, thought records, and practical homework to try between meetings. This approach helps with anxiety, depression, and daily patterns that cause stress.

Finding the right method is part of the process. Sabrina will talk with each person about problems, goals, and preferences, then suggest an approach. The plan is adapted over time based on what helps most, and decisions are made together.

Online work offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins or ongoing written reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep consistent momentum.
