About Sabrina

Sabrina Sahle is a Licensed Certified Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) based in Maryland with 13 years of practice. She works with adults who face stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem struggles, career concerns, ADHD, and related issues. Sessions are offered in English and Tigrinya. Sabrina does not accept international clients.

She trained originally in Educational Psychology at the University of Asmara in Eritrea and completed two graduate degrees at Ohio University: a Master of Arts in International Affairs and a Master of Social Work. Her background includes trauma-focused work with refugees, individual and group therapy at a university counseling center, and clinical work at a community agency on Maryland's Eastern Shore. She also opened a private practice and has provided services via telehealth to immigrant and non-immigrant clients in Maryland.

Her in-session style is direct and interactive. She combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with client-centered listening and mindfulness practices. Sabrina draws on attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused approaches when relationship patterns or grief are central concerns.

Practical work in sessions focuses on clear skills and behavioral experiments. Clients learn ways to notice patterns, test different responses, and build habits that reduce reactivity and rumination. Conversations can include values clarification, thought restructuring, and emotion work.

People who come for help with anger often leave with specific tools to interrupt heated moments and with clearer plans for managing recurring triggers. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session by selecting the See online therapy options button.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches used for online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values. ACT can help when anger and frustration repeatedly pull someone away from the life they want.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. It offers concrete exercises to change patterns that lead to snapping, avoidance, or rumination.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relational patterns that shape responses to stress and anger. It can be useful when past relationship experiences influence how someone reacts in the present.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which approaches fit their goals, temperament, and practical needs. That may mean trying a few strategies and refining them over time.

Session formats should be confirmed before booking. The therapist has provided telehealth services in Maryland and a subscription model is used for payments. If you plan to use online sessions, consider what will help you focus - for example a quieter time of day, shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or audio-only if bandwidth is limited. These practical choices can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life.
