Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Sabrina integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness practices into her online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration, helping clients explore values and goals while feeling supported without judgment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and many daily stressors. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical techniques to reduce reactivity and manage strong emotions, which can complement other treatments for trauma and stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sabrina works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. This teamwork helps clients feel involved and ensures therapy aligns with their life circumstances.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives - sessions can happen by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility in scheduling and format. These options make it easier for clients to maintain continuity of care, access licensed professionals from home or work, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for them.
