Sabrina Johnson

Sabrina Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood challenges, and the fallout from trauma. She focuses on practical steps that make day-to-day life more manageable. She aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where people can talk honestly about what feels hard right now.

Her style centers on tailoring conversations and plans to each person's needs. That means she listens first, then suggests strategies that match a person's goals and circumstances. She uses tools from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and skills-based approaches when they fit the situation.

Over seven years she has supported people who struggle with anger, communication problems, guilt and shame, and social anxiety. Isolation and loneliness are included among the concerns she addresses, and she pays attention to how those feelings link with relationships and daily routines. She also helps people think about purpose and self-worth when those areas cause distress.

Sabrina describes therapy as a collaborative process. She will work alongside clients to set small, achievable steps and review progress as therapy continues. Her focus is on practical change, clearer communication, and building coping skills that people can use outside sessions.

If you want straightforward help with overwhelming feelings or recurring problems, she offers a calm, nonjudgmental approach and an emphasis on real-world tools and gradual progress.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful tone. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects understanding, and helps people clarify what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when emotions feel overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Sabrina will help figure out what feels useful based on a person's goals, challenges, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may shift as needs change over time.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how she is offering sessions. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or help when it's easier not to be on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt the same CBT and DBT tools to virtual settings so homework, skills practice, and goal tracking remain practical parts of care.
