About Zebrina
Zebrina Rhem is a clinician who blends practical talk therapy with hands-on tools. She uses clear methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood shifts, and parenting concerns. Zebrina holds an MD and is an LCSW-C.
She brings seven years of clinical experience to each session. Her approach focuses on day-to-day changes that make life easier. She teaches concrete skills to handle strong emotions, improve sleep, and reduce overwhelm.
Sessions often include simple exercises and short skill practices to try between meetings.
Background and approach
Zebrina works with people facing grief, relationship strains, addiction worries, and identity concerns including LGBT issues. She also helps with workplace stress, career decisions, and financial worry. Parents can get strategies for balancing caregiving stress and parenting challenges.
She combines two well-known methods to shape treatment: practical thinking skills to change unhelpful patterns and emotion-management techniques to tolerate distress better. The goal is steady, usable change rather than long lists of techniques. Therapy conversations are collaborative and focused on what matters most to each person.
Clients set goals, track small wins, and adjust plans as life changes. Zebrina practices in Maryland and offers services in English.

Using CBT and DBT Online to Build Practical Skills
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It helps with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and parenting decisions by teaching steps to test thoughts and try new behaviors.DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication. It is useful when strong emotions feel overwhelming and when people need tools to stay steady during conflict or crisis.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps and what feels manageable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people see body language and work through role plays. Phone sessions can be low-bandwidth and easier when eyes-off conversation helps. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, written skill coaching, or people who prefer typing. These options make therapy more flexible around work, caregiving, and travel while keeping the focus on practical change.
