Telehealth and therapeutic approaches
Sabrina provides online services in Maryland through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Her telehealth work builds on years of experience with refugees, students, and community populations, and she adapts communication style to fit remote formats.
She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical coping skills. In an online setting this often looks like collaborative setting of goals, practicing new skills between sessions, and reviewing progress together. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore relational patterns and emotional bonds; in remote sessions this can include examining ways early relationships influence current connections and practicing new ways of relating in everyday life.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which incorporates mindfulness and values-based action, is another option Sabrina offers for people who want to focus on acceptance strategies and committed behavior change. She aims to work collaboratively, matching approach to a person's preference for structured skill work, relational exploration, or values-centered practice while using available telehealth formats.
