Sabrina Sahle, MD, LCSW-C - Therapist in Maryland

About Sabrina

Sabrina Sahle is a Maryland-based clinician who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, trauma, parenting concerns, and issues with mood and behavior. She brings 13 years of experience and uses a warm, open style that aims to make conversations feel safe and practical.

Sessions focus on clear goals and honest dialogue so parents and individuals can try new ways to cope. She works in English and Tigrinya and has served people from diverse backgrounds.

Background and approach

Before practicing in Maryland, she completed undergraduate studies in Educational Psychology at the University of Asmara in Eritrea. She then earned two graduate degrees from Ohio University - a Master of Arts in International Affairs and a Master of Social Work. She also holds an MD and is a Licensed Certified Clinical Social Worker, credential number LCSW-C 19571.

Her background includes trauma-focused work with refugees at resettlement agencies and several years providing individual and group therapy at a university counseling center. She has experience in community agencies on Maryland's Eastern Shore and ran a independent practice offering services to immigrant and non-immigrant clients via telehealth. Therapy sessions tend to blend practical skills with attention to emotions and relationships.

Cognitive techniques, mindfulness, and attachment-based conversations are common tools. She encourages parents to try small, concrete changes and to keep discussing what works and what doesn’t. Sabrina emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and steady support.

The goal is to help people build more resilience and improve daily family and parenting routines. She invites straightforward talk and joint planning to address immediate concerns and longer-term growth.

Therapeutic approaches for online family and parenting support

Sabrina commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then move toward actions that match their values. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships and early bonds affect current interactions, which can help with parenting and closeness issues.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they try different ways of working and adjust the plan based on what makes a real difference for daily life and family routines.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy schedules. These formats let people connect from home, coordinate care more easily, and follow up between sessions when needed. Flexibility in how sessions happen is meant to reduce barriers so parents and individuals can focus on making steady, practical progress.

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.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
