About Sabrina
Sabrina Sahle is a licensed clinician in Maryland who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and a wide range of life challenges. She draws on thirteen years of clinical experience to provide steady, practical support. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with attention to what matters most to each person.
Sabrina trained in Educational Psychology at the University of Asmara and completed two graduate degrees at Ohio University, including a Master of Social Work.
Background and approach
She has worked with refugees at resettlement agencies and provided individual and group psychotherapy at a university counseling center. Her background also includes agency work on Maryland's Eastern Shore and running a independent practice serving immigrant and non-immigrant clients by telehealth. Her style is warm, open, and interactive.
She favors straightforward talk, respectful curiosity, and gentle challenge when needed. Clients can expect clear feedback, collaborative goal-setting, and practical steps to try between sessions. Sabrina uses a mix of approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused work, and client-centered methods.
Those tools are applied to real-life problems like relationship strain, grief, burnout, eating concerns, and issues around identity and discrimination. She offers sessions in English and Tigrinya and works with issues including addiction, bipolar concerns, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue. Her aim is to help people build self-awareness and practical coping skills so they can move toward a better sense of well-being.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and testing small changes to reduce symptoms like depression or anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with intimacy, relationship struggles, and attachment issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sabrina collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. She explains options, tries techniques together, and adjusts the plan as progress is made or needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for full sessions and face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or for quieter audio-only conversations. Live chat and text messaging are convenient for shorter check-ins, brief problem-solving, or follow-up between scheduled sessions. These formats help people fit therapy into busy lives and access care from different places.
