About Sabrina
Sabrina Giwa is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Missouri with 15 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem concerns, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. She also focuses on communication problems, drug and alcohol addiction, forgiveness, guilt and shame, veteran and armed forces issues, mood disorders, multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, self-love, and sexual assault and abuse.
Sabrina uses straightforward therapy methods to help people manage strong feelings and repeated patterns. Sessions look at what leads to upset, what keeps it going, and practical steps to respond differently. She draws on client-centered work to follow a client's priorities, and uses cognitive behavioral ideas to test unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Mindfulness practices are offered to build moment-to-moment awareness and lower reactivity. Motivational interviewing techniques help people facing addiction or readiness barriers to change. Solution-focused ideas are used when someone wants short-term, goal-oriented work that produces specific tools to try between sessions.
Sabrina aims to make therapy inclusive across cultural backgrounds and identities. She talks directly about prejudice, discrimination, and how those experiences affect mood and relationships. Her approach combines listening, clear feedback, and practical exercises people can use in daily life.

How her approaches translate to online work
Sabrina often uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy in sessions. Client-centered work means the therapist follows what matters most to the person and uses reflective listening to clarify goals. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce repeated anger responses and improve mood.She also integrates mindfulness practice to help people notice bodily sensations and urges before reacting. Mindfulness exercises are taught in-session and practiced between meetings to increase calm and reduce impulsive responses. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work, and she will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or let someone avoid travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly use online sessions to deliver the same CBT exercises, mindfulness training, and motivational interviewing conversations they would in person, adapted to each person's situation.
