About Sabrina
Sabrina Sahle is a Licensed Certified Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) practicing from Maryland with 13 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, parenting pressures, and concerns like grief, addiction, and ADHD. Sessions are offered in English and Tigrinya.
Sabrina trained in educational psychology and holds two graduate degrees from Ohio University, including a Master of Social Work. She has worked with refugees at resettlement agencies and provided individual and group psychotherapy at a university counseling center. She has also worked with diverse adult populations in community agencies and in private practice in Maryland.
Her approach blends cognitive behavioral methods with acceptance-oriented ideas and attachment-based thinking. She draws on client-centered principles to focus on each person's experience and on emotionally-focused ideas when relationships and intimacy are involved. In practice this means talking through what feels most difficult and trying new ways of thinking and relating between sessions.
Sabrina has experience supporting people with immigration-related stress, family of origin concerns, multicultural issues, postpartum depression, and post-traumatic stress. She also addresses body image, eating and food-related issues, and questions about life purpose and career transitions.
Sessions are conversational and interactive. Clients can expect direct feedback, reflective listening, and practical skills to try between meetings. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working together online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small, committed steps toward a life that matters to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape expectations and reactions in current relationships and can help with intimacy and family-related concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sabrina will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their goals and preferences. That may mean mixing techniques from ACT, CBT, attachment work, and client-centered talking to match what a person needs at the time.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Ask about the specific online options offered when you complete the matching questionnaire. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy can be scheduled around family or work commitments.
