Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
In her online practice Sabrina integrates client-centered work with evidence-based techniques to meet each person where they are. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, active listening, and valuing the client’s perspective; it helps people feel heard and supports exploration of personal goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and substance use challenges. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach that helps people resolve ambivalence about change and build motivation for healthier choices, which is particularly useful in addiction work.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Sabrina works together with each client to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may involve trying strategies from different approaches and adapting as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with Sabrina is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support, continue care during life transitions, and use tools learned in sessions in real-world moments when they matter most.
