Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Sabrina draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking issues into manageable steps.She also uses attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas to look at how patterns in relationships affect feelings and connection. These approaches help people understand interaction cycles and build safer, clearer ways of relating with others, including in parenting roles.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sabrina will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together the therapist and client choose strategies to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow more face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can work when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and messaging or chat can support quick check-ins or flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
