About Sabrina
Sabrina Howell is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina with 20 years of experience. She centers sessions on a collaborative relationship where the person sets their own goals and the counselor accompanies them through the process. Her style is warm and practical, aimed at helping people untangle problems that make them feel stuck.
She uses a holistic view in sessions, looking at how thoughts, feelings, body sensations, relationships, work, and life roles interact. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques are often part of the work, used alongside client-centered principles that prioritize the person’s perspective. Trauma-focused approaches are also part of her toolkit when relevant.
Common concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, grief, parenting pressure, attention challenges, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with issues like abandonment, attachment struggles, body image, impulsivity, mood and personality concerns, and self-harm thoughts.
Sabrina emphasizes choice in therapy. After the first session, she and the client decide whether to continue together. She will make referrals to other professionals if doing so would better meet a person’s needs.
Messages are typically answered once daily Monday through Saturday, usually after 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. International clients can be worked with, and sessions are conducted in English.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Sabrina often draws from Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and following the person’s lead to set meaningful goals. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort out feelings and priorities.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a hands-on method that looks at thoughts and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. CBT is useful for addressing panic, worry, unhelpful thinking, and behavior change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sabrina collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. The first sessions focus on figuring out goals and the best ways to reach them together.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when time is tight, or avoid travel time. For people managing parenting demands, work schedules, or living far from a provider, remote sessions can help keep care consistent while still allowing goal-focused clinical work.
