About Sabrina
Sabrina Shupe is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) in Utah with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, depression, and ADHD. Her background includes work in community mental health and mobile crisis outreach, which influences how she responds in sessions.
She focuses on how patterns from early family life can still affect day-to-day functioning. Sessions often look at attachment and abandonment themes, blended family dynamics, and communication problems. She also addresses related concerns such as codependency, body image, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and issues tied to adoption and foster care.
Sabrina draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to create straightforward, practical sessions. She uses skills-based work and conversation to help people notice patterns, try new ways of relating, and manage symptoms like anxiety or depression. Her time in crisis response informs a calm, direct approach when someone is in acute distress.
As a woman veteran, she references personal and professional experience when relevant to clients. She balances that perspective with clinical practice from community mental health settings. Outside of work Sabrina spends time on a mini farm, plays volleyball, reads, and hikes.
People who want to address how family-of-origin patterns shape their relationships and daily life may find her practical focus useful. To begin, clients follow the directory’s matching steps to schedule a first session and review session details.
How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Evidence-based techniques are used to address specific problems in clear ways. One common approach focuses on teaching practical skills to manage anxiety and depression, such as breathing or activity scheduling. These tools are taught in short, repeatable steps so clients can use them between sessions.Another approach looks at attachment and family-of-origin patterns to identify repeated relationship dynamics. This involves talking through how early roles and expectations show up now, then trying small behavioral changes to shift those patterns. That work can help with issues like abandonment concerns, communication problems, or codependency.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining skills work with pattern-focused conversations over several sessions.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Ask about session length and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire to make sure it fits your routine.
