About Sabrina
Sabrina Johnson is a licensed professional counselor in Virginia with seven years of clinical experience.

In sessions she adapts the conversation and plan to each person's needs. Sabrina uses practical tools to manage overwhelming feelings and reduce anxiety.
Background and approach
She also works with people facing anger, isolation, social anxiety, and difficulties with communication or self-worth. Her approach mixes client-centered listening with structured techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. That means she spends time understanding a person's goals and values, then offers concrete strategies to change unhelpful thinking, cope with strong emotions, and build routines that feel sustainable.
She supports people who want help with forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, and self-love. Sessions aim to produce small, steady changes that add up over time. Sabrina encourages questions and collaborative planning so people know what to expect each step of the way.
People who choose her often want straightforward guidance paired with empathetic listening. She helps create a plan you can follow between sessions, with skills to use during stressful moments and practical steps toward longer term goals.
How her approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people clarify values and goals so they can make changes that feel right for them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down harmful thinking patterns and links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical exercises people can use between sessions to reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It includes techniques for distress tolerance and building routines that limit reactive behavior.
Finding the best combination of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they refine a plan and pick strategies that match the client's needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful when visual cues help the conversation, phone calls work with lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging can fit quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options help schedule sessions around work, school, or caregiving and make follow-up between sessions easier.
