About Sabrina
Sabrina Giwa is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep problems, anger, and self esteem. She brings 15 years of experience to her work in Missouri and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.
Sabrina centers sessions on the person in front of her. She listens first, then tailors methods to each person's needs. Common tools she draws on include cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. Conversations are aimed at real-life problems and small, doable changes.
Clients often work on skills for handling strong emotions, improving communication, and breaking unhelpful patterns around substance use or compulsive behaviors. When trauma or past harm is part of the story, she integrates trauma-focused ideas while moving at a pace the person can tolerate. Sessions also address shame, guilt, forgiveness, and issues tied to prejudice and multicultural stressors.
Sabrina describes her style as direct and supportive. She helps people set clear goals and track progress. Practical homework and short-term strategies are common parts of the work, alongside deeper reflection when that fits the client's goals.
Her background includes long-term clinical experience with mood disorders and compassion fatigue. Sabrina works in English and practices in Missouri as an LPC and LCPC, applying a range of approaches to match each person's situation and goals.
