Sabrina Howell

Sabrina Howell is a licensed clinical mental health counselor practicing in North Carolina with 20 years of experience. She approaches counseling as a collaborative partnership in which the client leads by setting personal goals and she accompanies them through the process.

Her method is holistic - she explores goals across body, mind, spirit, relationships, work, and any other areas that matter to the client. Sabrina integrates cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused approaches to tailor work to each person’s needs. She sees adults individually and works with couples, and she is trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) to support children and families affected by trauma.

Sabrina helps clients examine moments when they feel stuck in life, and she addresses symptoms that often accompany that experience, such as panic, anxiety, and depression. Entering counseling with her is voluntary and clients may end therapy at any time. If ethical standards indicate a referral is in the client’s best interest, she will provide names of other professionals and facilitate the transition.

While she cannot guarantee specific outcomes, Sabrina collaborates with clients to pursue meaningful progress. After the first session, she and the client decide whether to establish an ongoing counseling relationship. She typically responds to messages once per day, Monday through Saturday, usually after 5:00 p.m. EST.
