About Sabrina

Sabrina Curry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, burnout, and major life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and direct. Her style is warm, nonjudgmental, and focused on real steps that fit daily life.

Sabrina draws on practical strategies and listening skills to help clients find new options when things feel stuck. She uses simple metaphors and collaborative problem solving so people can leave a session with one or two clear next steps.

Background and approach

Sessions often focus on what is most urgent for the person in front of her. In sessions she blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with cognitive techniques and client-centered conversation. That mix helps people notice what matters most, try small behavior changes, and reframe unhelpful thoughts.

Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy also inform her work when clients want to reshape their story or strengthen motivation. Her background includes four years of clinical practice following broader social work experience. That combination gives practical knowledge of community needs and individual therapy.

Sabrina tends to prioritize coping skills, communication practice, and goal-focused planning during the first few meetings. Parents and caregivers often seek her out around parenting strain, caregiver stress, grief, or career pressure. She supports people working through those strains with step-by-step plans and empathetic reflection rather than labels or quick fixes.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Many of Sabrina's methods can be used effectively in remote sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters and practice small, values-based actions; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts, then trying different behaviors to see what works best for mood and daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes empathetic listening and supports clients in finding their own answers, which can be especially helpful when someone needs validation and a clearer sense of direction.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That may mean combining techniques or shifting focus as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, sessions can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday break, or let someone choose a quieter environment with less background noise. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and communication styles to the format you use so therapy stays practical and usable in everyday life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
