About Sabrina

Sabrina Shupe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Utah who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and ADHD. She works with individuals experiencing a wide mix of concerns, from self-esteem struggles to chronic illness and caregiving stress. Sabrina aims to create a straightforward, supportive space where people feel heard and respected.

She came to therapy work after leaving military service and says service remains central to how she approaches clinical work. Her background includes roles at a community mental health center and time on a mobile crisis outreach team, where she supported people in urgent situations. Those experiences inform a practical style that balances direct problem-solving with emotional support.

Sabrina’s sessions focus on clear goals and step-by-step progress. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and daily challenges. Conversations tend to center on ways to reduce distress, strengthen coping skills, and improve communication and relationships.

She also brings personal perspective as a woman veteran, which shapes a commitment to resilience, growth, and balance. Outside of clinical work she lives on a small farm, plays volleyball, reads, and spends time outdoors. These interests influence a down-to-earth approach in sessions.

People interested in starting work with Sabrina can expect collaborative planning, practical strategies, and attention to immediate needs as well as longer-term goals. She aims to walk alongside clients through change rather than promising quick fixes.

Approaches that guide online work and finding the best fit

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are central to Sabrina's practice. One approach she uses focuses on building practical coping skills to reduce anxiety and manage stress. That method breaks challenges into manageable steps and teaches tools people can use between sessions to handle symptoms and daily pressures.

Another common focus is trauma-informed care, which pays attention to how past experiences affect current thoughts, feelings, and relationships. This approach aims to help people make sense of difficult events, build safety in daily life, and slowly develop stronger coping patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sabrina collaborates with each person to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust plans as progress is made. She treats the process as a team effort and checks in regularly about what is or isn’t helping.

Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to connect while managing medical appointments or caregiving duties. Many people find that remote sessions help sustain regular contact with a therapist while juggling life demands.
