About Sabrina
Sabrina Jelks is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) based in South Carolina who brings 12 years of clinical experience to her work with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and related life challenges.
Background and approach
She emphasizes establishing a collaborative therapeutic relationship that helps clients identify meaningful goals and practical steps for change. Sabrina draws on evidence-based methods including cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness techniques to address patterns of thinking, emotional regulation, and daily coping skills.
Her practice also attends to a wide range of concerns such as relationship and intimacy-related issues, addiction, family and attachment matters, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, body image, and communication or commitment difficulties. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies are woven into sessions to help clients clarify priorities, build motivation, and trial new behaviors between meetings.
Sabrina frames therapy as a partnership aimed at making gradual, sustainable progress toward a brighter outlook, and she welcomes clients who are ready to take the first step toward change.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy places the clients experience and goals at the center of sessions, emphasizing empathy, active listening, and collaboration to help people feel heard and shape their own path forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression; it tends to include practical exercises and skill-building that translate well to remote sessions. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and stress regulation tools that clients can practice between meetings to manage emotional reactivity and chronic stress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, values, and goals, adjusting techniques over time based on what proves most helpful. Clients often combine elements from different approaches to address multiple concerns in a personalized plan.
Online formats offer flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or health limitations. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for real-time skill coaching, phone sessions can be a more accessible option when video is not convenient, and live chat or text messaging supports shorter check-ins and continuing accountability between scheduled appointments. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and practice new strategies in day-to-day life.
