About Sabrina
Sabrina Shupe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Utah with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD. Her background includes military service followed by roles in community mental health and a mobile crisis outreach team.
Sabrina draws on both personal and professional experience to support people through immediate crises and longer-term concerns. In sessions she listens for what feels most urgent and what patterns keep coming back. She aims to help clients notice how stress and past hurt shape current choices.
Her work often addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, complex grief related to adoption and foster care, and relational problems such as communication and commitment issues. Sabrina also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image, and challenges related to alternative sexual cultures including kink.
Practical coping strategies are paired with discussions about values and next steps. When safety or acute need appears, her crisis work background guides short-term interventions and referrals. She encourages clear, manageable goals and regular check-ins about progress.
Outside of clinical work, Sabrina is a woman veteran who keeps active on a mini farm and enjoys volleyball, reading, and time outdoors. Those interests inform a down-to-earth style that emphasizes straightforward conversation and realistic planning.
Approaches for working through change and trauma
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are central to her practice and are used in straightforward ways. One approach focuses on short-term, problem-focused strategies that teach concrete skills for managing anxiety, stress, and daily functioning. These techniques help people build routines, reduce overwhelm, and handle immediate triggers.Another approach addresses trauma-related symptoms through paced, supportive conversations that track how past events influence current behavior and relationships. This work aims to reduce distressing reactions and improve emotional regulation rather than promise quick fixes.
Finding the best method is a collaborative process. Sabrina starts by listening to priorities, safety needs, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they try approaches for a few sessions and adjust plans based on what the client finds most useful.
Confirm the current online session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions can occur during breaks or between commitments. The therapist and client will decide which session rhythm and format fit daily life and goals.
