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 practical methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-focused approaches. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and small, testable changes rather than long abstract discussions.
Her style emphasises direct conversation and skills practice. Clients work on identifying thought patterns, trying new behaviors, and reviewing what helps or gets in the way. Mindfulness exercises and brief motivational conversations are used when they fit the goal.
Sabrina has worked across different settings over her career and brings 15 years of clinical experience to sessions. She aims to help people develop practical coping skills and clearer ways to handle stress, mood shifts, and relationship difficulties.

Using CBT and related approaches in online sessions
Many sessions draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns and try small behavior changes. CBT is practical and structured, using exercises and homework to test what works for anxiety, mood problems, sleep issues, and relationship concerns.Client-Centered Therapy is also used to focus on a person's perspective and priorities. That approach makes time for the client's concerns and preferences while the therapist listens and reflects what matters most. Mindfulness Therapy provides simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus for stress, grief, and trauma recovery.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sabrina will discuss goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit each person's situation. Decisions are made together, and methods can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow brief check-ins when a full office visit is difficult. Ask about available formats and scheduling when completing the matching questionnaire so sessions match daily routines and needs.
