Sabrina Giwa

Sabrina Giwa is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Missouri. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep problems, self-esteem struggles, bipolar mood challenges, and compassion fatigue. Sabrina speaks English and brings 15 years of experience to her work.

Sabrina emphasizes a straightforward, collaborative approach. She listens first and helps clients set practical goals. Sessions focus on real-life skills - communication, managing strong emotions, coping with loss, and reducing harmful behaviors. She uses plain language and clear steps so people know what to expect each week.

Her background blends several therapeutic methods to match individual needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused techniques are often part of the plan. Motivational Interviewing and client-centered work guide conversations about readiness for change and personal values.

Sabrina prioritizes accessibility and cultural awareness. She pays attention to multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, and veteran-related issues when relevant. The aim is to help clients find tools that fit their life, beliefs, and daily routines.

People who choose her practice will work on building coping skills, identifying unhelpful thinking or patterns, and creating small steps toward healthier behavior. Sessions are collaborative, focused, and practical, with an emphasis on real progress over time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to each person. In practice this means sessions center on the client's priorities and build goals together, which helps with relationship stress, self-esteem, and grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sabrina will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice may shift as progress is made, and she checks in regularly to adjust techniques and priorities.

Confirm the current online session options before booking since formats are not listed in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports continuity when schedules change or when someone needs consistent meetings from a distance. Licensed professionals can use these tools to deliver the same kinds of skill-building work, behavior-focused practice, and mindful exercises that are used in in-person sessions.
