About Sabrina

Sabrina Heller is a licensed clinical social worker in Pennsylvania with 19 years of experience. She focuses on practical steps that help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and struggles tied to trauma and abuse. She also works with people facing LGBT-related concerns, compassion fatigue, and issues around guilt, shame, sexuality, and social anxiety.

Her approach centers on collaboration. She listens to each person's story and builds on the strengths they already have.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to be down-to-earth and goal-focused, with tools you can use between meetings. Sabrina emphasizes small, workable changes that add up over time. She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to shape sessions.

That mix helps address thoughts, emotions, and behaviors all at once. In practice this means learning skills for managing strong feelings, noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, and deciding what matters most personally. Therapy with her often includes short exercises during sessions and clear steps to try at home.

People leave with concrete plans for coping and clearer ideas about next steps. Sabrina frames progress as steady and practical rather than sudden. Her style is calm and straightforward.

She encourages questions and checks in about what is and isn’t helping. The work focuses on what a person wants to change and how to get there one step at a time.

Online support

Using ACT, CBT, and DBT in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying your values and taking committed steps toward them. It helps when worry or avoidance keeps you from the life you want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought patterns and behaviors, teaching practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skill-based work on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for intense emotions and self-criticism.

Finding the right blend of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for full conversations and skill teaching, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can fit short check-ins between meetings. These options let people schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments while staying connected with licensed professionals.
