About Sabrina
Sabrina Giwa is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Missouri with 15 years of clinical experience.
Background and approach
She supports people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, sleep difficulties, anger, self-esteem struggles, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include 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 draws on a range of evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs, frequently using cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered and mindfulness-based methods. Her work emphasizes collaboration, practical skills, and gradual steps toward change so clients can build resilience and address immediate concerns while exploring deeper patterns.
She aims to offer an inclusive, respectful environment where differences are acknowledged and treatment strategies are adapted to fit individual circumstances and values. Available through remote session formats, she helps clients translate therapeutic insights into daily life, focusing on problem-solving, emotional regulation, and rebuilding a sense of agency after loss, trauma, or prolonged stress.
Approaches for Online Healing and Practical Growth
Sabrina commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Client-Centered Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical strategies to change behavior and mood, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard while exploring their values and goals. Mindfulness practices may also be woven into sessions to help with emotional regulation and grounding when dealing with trauma, grief, or intense stress.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, priorities, and comfort with different techniques, adjusting methods over time so the work stays relevant and achievable. Clients are encouraged to share feedback so sessions evolve around what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice new skills between sessions, and access therapy from one’s own environment while working with a licensed professional who adapts methods to the online setting.
