Sabrina Sahle

Sabrina Sahle is a Licensed Certified Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) based in Maryland who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She draws on thirteen years of clinical experience to support people facing life changes, grief, relationship rough spots, and struggles with self-esteem or addiction.

Sabrina trained in Educational Psychology and holds a Master of Social Work and a Master of Arts in International Affairs. She has worked with refugees at resettlement agencies and provided individual and group psychotherapy at a university counseling center. She also has experience in community agencies on Maryland's Eastern Shore and in her private practice serving immigrant and non-immigrant people.

Her approach is warm, open, and interactive. She uses straightforward talk, mindfulness practices, and practical skills from cognitive-behavioral and acceptance-based approaches to help people manage strong emotions and daily stressors. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small steps people can use between meetings.

Sabrina also draws on attachment-informed ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That perspective is helpful for people dealing with intimacy issues, family of origin concerns, or communication problems.

She offers care in English and Tigrinya and works with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, postpartum depression, multicultural stress, and prejudice-related trauma. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Sabrina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide online sessions. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current emotional responses and helps people improve communication and closeness in important relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels helpful, and then tailor methods to fit the person's needs. This collaborative process means techniques may shift as progress is made.

Session formats should be confirmed before booking, since current options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk therapy, skill practice, mindfulness exercises, and problem-solving can all be done effectively in virtual sessions when both people agree on how to proceed.
