About John Sabin
He is trained in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), which helps people regulate intense emotions and improve interpersonal effectiveness; eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), which is often used to process traumatic memories; emotion-focused therapy, which centers on understanding and transforming emotional experiences; solution-focused techniques that emphasize practical change; and parts therapy to work with internal conflicts. These approaches are integrated to match each person’s needs rather than applied in a one-size-fits-all way.
Sabin works from the belief that people have the capacity to heal emotional wounds, and he frames therapy as a collaborative process in which the therapist provides guidance, skills, and support while the person leads the work of change. He describes it as an honor to assist others in that process and aims to create a steady, respectful therapeutic relationship that fosters growth and resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
John Sabin draws on several targeted approaches to support emotional healing and improved functioning. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) focuses on teaching practical skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships - it is often used for anxiety, mood regulation, and interpersonal difficulties. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) involves guided processing of distressing memories to reduce their emotional charge and associated symptoms, and it is frequently applied when trauma and painful memories are central concerns. Emotion-focused therapy centers on identifying, expressing, and transforming core emotions to strengthen attachment and improve relationship patterns.Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailors methods so that therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model onto every situation.
Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging depending on what works best for the person. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, integrate therapy into a busy life, and access specialized therapeutic approaches even when in-person options are limited.
