Sabrina Sahle , MD, LCSW-C

Sabrina Sahle is a Maryland-based clinician who helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, and many women's issues. She works with people facing grief, addictions, ADHD, parenting strains, eating and body-image worries, and challenges tied to identity and discrimination. Sabrina speaks English and Tigrinya and draws on thirteen years of practice to listen and respond to each person's needs.

Her style is warm and interactive. Sessions focus on straightforward conversation, practical skills, and learning ways to manage hard feelings. She encourages honest dialogue and uses mindfulness to help people notice what matters to them.

She trained in both medicine and social work and holds an MD and a Licensed Certified Clinical Social Worker credential. Her background includes work with refugees at resettlement agencies and counseling university students, as well as providing services in private practice across Maryland.

In therapy she blends approaches such as cognitive behavioral work, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused techniques, emotionally focused strategies, and a client-centered way of listening. That mix is used flexibly to fit a person’s situation rather than following a fixed script.

People often come for help with transitions, parenting stress, relationship patterns, post-traumatic reactions, or identity-related struggles. Sessions aim to build clearer thinking, greater self-awareness, and steady coping skills that can be used in day-to-day life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward a life they care about while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, and major life changes where knowing what matters can guide action.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and how early experiences shape current bonds. This work is helpful for intimacy-related issues, communication problems, and healing from attachment wounds.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with a person about goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them over time based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer therapy work and visual connection. Phone can fit a quick check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Chat and text let people share between sessions or use shorter, focused check-ins. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, childcare, or other commitments and to keep continuity when life gets busy.
