About Sabrina

Sabrina Giwa is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Missouri. She supports people managing depression, anxiety, stress, grief, trauma, addiction concerns, and mood swings. Her style is direct and compassionate, focused on practical steps people can use between sessions.

Sabrina draws on 15 years of experience to tailor sessions to each person's situation. She uses straightforward therapy methods like cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness skills to help people notice patterns and try new responses. She also uses client-centered listening and motivational interviewing to clarify goals and build momentum.

In session she helps people break problems into manageable parts. That may mean learning tools to sleep better, reduce intense anger, or work through shame and guilt. She also guides people coping with relationship and intimacy-related struggles who want clearer communication and stronger boundaries.

Sabrina pays attention to how culture and prejudice affect mental health. She brings that awareness into discussions about identity, self-love, and community stressors. She also supports people processing sexual assault, military-related issues, or compassion fatigue.

Her approach aims for steady progress rather than quick fixes. People who come for help can expect focused conversations, homework that practices new ways of coping, and adjustments over time based on what works. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step connects people to initial sessions.

This summary is based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp.

How Sabrina’s approaches translate to online therapy

Sabrina commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques in sessions. Client-centered therapy means the therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the person. This approach helps people feel understood and guides the pace of work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is often used for depression, anxiety, sleep issues, and mood regulation.

She also incorporates mindfulness skills to help people notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept up by them. Mindfulness can be practiced in short exercises that people use daily to reduce stress and improve sleep. The therapist will discuss which of these approaches fits best and may blend them based on individual needs.

Finding the right approach is a team process. Sabrina will help clients set goals, try methods, and adjust over time based on what helps most. That collaborative process includes practical tasks between sessions and regular check-ins about progress.
