About Sabrina
Sabrina Giwa is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, sleep problems, addictions, trauma, grief, and mood concerns. She draws on 15 years of experience to support people dealing with depression, anger, low self-esteem, intimacy issues, and compassion fatigue. Sabrina aims to make therapy understandable and practical for everyday life.
In sessions she listens first and then partners with each person to set clear goals. She uses a mix of client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness exercises, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work. That means conversations focus on what matters to the client, practical skills, and small steps that can change daily routines.
Sabrina pays attention to cultural and social factors that affect mental health. She also addresses concerns like prejudice, multicultural stress, veteran and armed forces issues, and the lasting impact of sexual assault and abuse. Her work includes helping people navigate guilt, shame, forgiveness, and rebuilding self-love.
Therapy with her typically combines short-term strategies and longer-term growth plans. Clients can expect clear, straightforward guidance, exercises to practice between sessions, and regular check-ins on progress. The approach is adaptable to each person’s needs and pace.
Based in Missouri, Sabrina provides care in English and focuses on building resilience rather than quick fixes. She aims to help people feel more capable managing mood disorders, bipolar symptoms, and the everyday stresses that interfere with sleep and relationships.
Approaches for online work and finding the right fit
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and making sessions match what the person needs. It helps when someone wants a therapist who follows their lead and builds on their strengths.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and managing mood shifts by using small, measurable steps.
Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment with simple exercises that reduce reactivity and support better sleep and stress management. These practices can be short and easy to do between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help clients choose and adjust methods based on their goals, preferences, and how they respond in early sessions. Decisions about methods are made together and can change over time.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and use exercises that transfer into daily routines. It also lets people practice skills in their usual environment and bring real-life situations into sessions for immediate problem solving.
