About Sabrina

Sabrina Sahle is a Maryland-based clinician with thirteen years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, and related concerns. She holds an MD and is a Licensed Certified Clinical Social Worker - Clinical (LCSW-C). She speaks English and Tigrinya and brings a calm, approachable manner to sessions.

Sahle focuses on practical steps that people can use day to day. She listens first, then helps clients tell their story in a way that feels clearer.

Background and approach

Her style is warm and interactive, and she values honesty and respect in the work she does with each person. Her background includes work with refugees at resettlement agencies and psychotherapy roles at a university counseling center.

She also provided direct clinical services in personal agencies on Maryland's Eastern Shore and later opened a independent practice called Bana Mental Health LLC, where she continued telehealth services for immigrant and non-immigrant populations. Sahle blends several approaches to match the needs in a given session.

She draws on narrative ideas to help people reframe painful stories, uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to tackle unhelpful thinking, and attends to attachment patterns that shape relationships. Mindfulness and humanistic elements also appear in her work. Sessions aim to increase self-awareness and build practical coping skills.

People often leave with clearer goals and new ways to handle stressors such as grief, parenting pressures, work strain, or identity-related concerns. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step helps link someone to a session rhythm that fits their life.

Online session options

How narrative and evidence-based methods work online

Sabrina integrates Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Attachment-Based Therapy into her online work. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from painful stories and re-author life events in ways that reduce shame and increase agency. ACT focuses on values and small actions people can take even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect present connections, which can be useful for intimacy, communication, and trust issues.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different strategies, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. Clients and the therapist decide together whether to emphasize story work, values-driven actions, or relationship patterns during sessions.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a busy day or lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, quick skill practice, or support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other commitments.
