About Sabrina
Sabrina Giwa is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep problems, anger, and self-esteem struggles. She also supports people facing bipolar symptoms, compassion fatigue, and issues tied to prejudice or multicultural stress. Sabrina brings 15 years of experience working with these kinds of concerns in Missouri.
Sabrina uses plain talk and steady pacing in sessions. She focuses on understanding what matters most to each person and on practical steps that fit daily life.
Background and approach
Sessions look at thoughts, patterns, and small changes that can reduce distress and improve functioning. Her approach draws on client-centered listening to make space for each person's perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing are used when helpful to create clearer choices and new habits.
Solution-focused techniques are used to set short-term goals and track progress. Sabrina pays attention to how culture, discrimination, and identity shape emotional pain. She helps people work through guilt, shame, and issues stemming from sexual assault or other trauma.
Communication problems and drug or alcohol addiction are also areas she addresses directly in session. Work is collaborative and paced to the person. People who choose Sabrina can expect straightforward conversation, practical tools to try between sessions, and ongoing check-ins about what is working.
Her Missouri LPC and Kansas LCPC credentials reflect state licensure and are part of her professional background.

Online support
How her approaches translate to online care
Sabrina often blends client-centered listening with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness work. Client-centered therapy means the therapist listens closely and follows the person's priorities, creating space to name what feels hardest. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and uses practical exercises to change them. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple practices to notice thoughts and bodily reactions so strong feelings feel more manageable.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sabrina treats approach choice as a joint decision, adjusting methods based on a person’s goals, symptoms, and daily routine. She will review options, test strategies together, and shift course if something isn’t helping.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for a fuller conversation that mimics an in-person meeting. Phone calls can work when bandwidth is low or for a less visual check-in. Chat and messaging are good for brief check-ins, quick tools, or when people need support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules while still using the same therapeutic techniques.
