About Sabrina
Sabrina Jelks is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) practicing in South Carolina with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, life changes, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues around addiction and self-esteem. Sabrina also focuses on adoption and foster care matters, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and communication or commitment difficulties.
She takes a straightforward, person-focused approach in sessions. Conversations aim to clarify what feels stuck and identify small, practical steps forward. She listens for what matters most to each person and uses that to shape goals and next steps.
Sabrina blends methods such as Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of progress. She also uses Mindfulness techniques and Solution-Focused strategies to help people manage stress, shift perspectives, and set achievable targets. Motivational Interviewing is used when change feels hard to start.
In early meetings she focuses on concrete concerns and short-term goals so people can see what changes might help. Later work can address deeper patterns like family of origin issues, attachment wounds, or long-term coping with illness. Sessions often include talking through reactions, practicing new ways of responding, and planning realistic steps.
Sabrina works in English and draws on a decade-plus of experience with varied client needs. She asks people to name what matters most and helps translate those priorities into practical actions.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's priorities. It helps when someone needs a clearer sense of what matters and wants a collaborative listener who reflects concerns back and helps set goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. It offers concrete exercises and small behavior changes useful for anxiety, depression, and repetitive worry.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sabrina will help identify which methods fit a person's needs and preferences, and adjust plans based on what does or does not help. That collaborative process means starting with practical goals and trying straightforward strategies, then tuning them over time.
The therapist's biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Phone sessions may work when video isn't feasible, and video lets people use visual cues during conversation. Discussing format up front helps pick what will best fit daily life and goals.
