About Sabrina
Sabrina Giwa helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief, and mood concerns. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - LCPC based in Missouri with 15 years of experience. Sabrina works with issues like depression, bipolar disorder, sleeping problems, anger, and low self-esteem.
She also addresses relationship and intimacy-related concerns, compassion fatigue, and the effects of prejudice and discrimination. Sabrina’s style is down-to-earth and practical.
How Sabrina works
She listens first, then collaborates on small, doable steps. Sessions focus on what feels most urgent and on building coping skills that fit everyday life. She explains approaches in clear language and checks in often to adjust the plan.
She draws from client-centered therapy to keep the person’s goals central and from cognitive behavioral therapy to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness practices are used to calm the body and focus attention. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change, and solution-focused work zeroes in on what’s working now.
Across 15 years of practice Sabrina has supported people through recovery from drug and alcohol addiction, sexual assault and abuse, and trauma. She also works with veterans and those affected by cultural or racial stressors. Her background emphasizes respect for each person’s culture and lived experience.
Sessions are offered in English and take place online through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Sabrina’s practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and experiences. The therapist listens closely and helps people decide what they want to work on, which is useful for issues like grief, identity, and relationship concerns.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleeping problems, and anger.
Mindfulness therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve focus. These tools can be helpful for managing anxiety, trauma reactions, and stress-related symptoms.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which combination of methods to try and adjust the plan over time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth, live chat can be a shorter real-time check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life, or recovery routines while keeping the focus on practical, skill-building work.
