Sabrina Sahle, LCSW-C

Sabrina Sahle is a Licensed Certified Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) in Maryland who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family challenges, and trauma. She works with individuals on concerns like grief, LGBTQ issues, eating and body-image struggles, parenting strain, and career or life-purpose questions. She also supports people coping with burnout, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and the effects of prejudice or immigration stress.

Sahle uses a warm, open, and interactive style in sessions. Conversations focus on clear goals and practical steps. She encourages honesty and self-awareness to help people make meaningful changes in day-to-day life.

Her background includes an undergraduate degree in Educational Psychology from the University of Asmara in Eritrea and two graduate degrees from Ohio University: a Master of Arts in International Affairs and a Master of Social Work. She brings thirteen years of clinical experience across settings that include refugee resettlement agencies, a university counseling center, a private agency on Maryland's Eastern Shore, and private practice work with immigrant and non-immigrant clients.

In practice she integrates approaches such as cognitive behavioral methods, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused work, emotionally-focused techniques, and client-centered principles. Sessions often mix talking, skills practice, and reflection to address thinking patterns, emotional connection, and coping strategies.

People who choose to work with her can expect a respectful, culturally aware approach that draws on diverse clinical and community experience. Prospective clients are invited to consider their goals and start a conversation about how therapy might fit into their life.

Online approaches that guide remote work

Sabrina commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in online conversations. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and practicing different ways of responding, which can help with anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing painful thoughts and feelings while clarifying what matters most, then taking actions that match those values to move forward.

She also uses attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas when relationships or connection are central concerns. Those approaches look at patterns of closeness and emotional responses, and they help people shift how they relate to others and to themselves. Choosing the right approach is collaborative; the therapist and client will work together to find methods that fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists often adapt exercises and homework for virtual work so people can practice skills between meetings and bring progress into daily routines.
