About Sabrina

Sabrina Sahle is a licensed clinician based in Maryland who brings thirteen years of practice to clients managing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, relationship concerns, grief, addictions, and a wide range of life transitions.

Background and approach

She combines clinical training and lived experience working with diverse communities, including refugee populations and students, to offer a thoughtful, culturally aware approach to emotional and behavioral concerns.

Sahle trained in Educational Psychology at the University of Asmara and completed graduate study at Ohio University, earning a Master of Arts in International Affairs and a Master of Social Work before developing a independent practice.

Her work has included trauma-informed care for refugees, individual and group psychotherapy at a university counseling center, and agency-based services on Maryland's Eastern Shore. She later provided telehealth services through her practice, serving both immigrant and non-immigrant clients in Maryland.

Her therapeutic manner is warm, interactive, and respectful, drawing on cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance-based and humanistic influences, attachment-informed thinking, and mindfulness. Sabrina emphasizes collaborative dialogue and self-awareness as tools to help clients move toward greater wellbeing.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy with Flexible Access

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed action; it can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and life changes by shifting focus toward meaningful living. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) centers on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and testing alternatives, which is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, compulsive behaviors, and some aspects of ADHD-related functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns that shape emotional responses and can be especially helpful for intimacy issues, family dynamics, and healing after trauma.

Determining the right combination of methods is collaborative rather than fixed. The therapist works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then adjusts techniques over time to find what feels most effective and practical for the client.

Online formats like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try brief check-ins between sessions, or select a communication mode that matches comfort level while working with a licensed professional.
