About Sabrina
Sabrina Johnson is a licensed professional counselor in Virginia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood challenges, trauma and abuse, and anger. She writes short, direct sessions that focus on what matters to each person. Sabrina aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where clients can take the first steps toward change.
She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow what each client brings to the room. That means listening first, then shaping conversations around the client's goals. She also uses elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help spot and change unhelpful thoughts and Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies for emotion regulation when needed.
Over seven years of work have given her time with many patterns of worry, isolation, and relationship strain. She helps people untangle guilt, shame, and forgiveness issues, and supports those trying to reconnect with purpose or self-worth. Conversations often focus on practical skills and small, steady steps forward.
Sabrina prefers to build a plan together, matching techniques to what a person finds useful. She explains options clearly and keeps work focused on the client’s priorities. Her style is straightforward and kind, aiming to empower rather than judge.
People who want a therapist who listens first and offers clear, actionable next steps may find her approach helpful. Before scheduling, confirm session formats and any logistical details to make sure they fit your needs.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Sabrina works from a client-centered foundation, which means she begins by listening to each person and shaping sessions around their goals and concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and reflecting the client’s own priorities so the work stays focused on what the person wants to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT often involves straightforward exercises and practice between sessions, which can fit well with online meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance when those tools are needed.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods match the client’s needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. These practical benefits can help clients practice skills consistently and keep momentum between meetings.
