About Sabrina
Sabrina Howell is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She brings 20 years of experience to sessions and centers the work on a cooperative relationship where the client sets goals and the therapist walks alongside them. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping parents and individuals find clearer footing during stressful or uncertain times.
Sabrina uses a holistic view when tackling concerns. Conversations can cover how stress or mood changes affect the body, thinking, relationships, work, and daily routines.
Background and approach
She draws on client-centered methods so the client's priorities guide each session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, abbreviated CBT, is part of her toolkit for addressing anxiety, panic, depression, and unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness practices are woven in to help people notice and shift responses to stress and strong emotions.
Her background includes trauma-focused approaches to help people process past hurts that continue to affect current life and parenting. Sabrina describes therapy as a team effort where progress is built step by step and goals are revisited as needed. Practical matters are clear up front.
Messaging typically receives a response once per day Monday through Saturday, usually after 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. She also explains that if a better fit is needed, she will offer referrals and next steps.

How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and letting the client set the pace and goals; online sessions use that same collaborative rhythm so priorities come from the person in the room. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps break unhelpful thought and behavior patterns by practicing different responses and trying small experiments between sessions to test what works.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, goals, and preferences and then suggest ways of working together. That collaborative decision can shift over time as progress is tracked and needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to have brief check-ins, share resources, and handle scheduling without a full session. These options add flexibility for parents and busy adults balancing work, family, and appointments.
