Sabrina Hanson , LPC, LPCC

Sabrina Hanson brings a focused, growth-oriented approach to counseling, guiding individuals through recovery from trauma, addiction, and life transitions toward greater wholeness. She frames therapy as a collaborative journey in which difficult experiences are explored with care so that long-standing patterns can be identified, processed, and transformed. Sabrina emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change and aims to equip people with practical tools that support ongoing personal development beyond the therapy room.

Her training centers on evidence-based approaches to trauma and addictive behaviors, and she emphasizes working with the whole person - mind, body, and spirit - to foster meaningful shifts. Sabrina received a Bachelor of Science in Social Work from Florida State University in 2002 and a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling from Franciscan University of Steubenville in 2016. She is licensed as an LPC and an LPCC - Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - reflecting state credentials to provide professional counseling services.

Known for an eclectic style anchored in Internal Family Systems, Sabrina pairs structured techniques with client feedback to tailor treatment to each individual. She has additional training in EMDR and trauma-related modalities and focuses on helping people build resilience, improve relationships, and reclaim a sense of purpose. Her goal is to empower individuals to develop skills that allow them to thrive independently, with the therapist intentionally supporting progress until clients feel equipped to continue on their own.

Evidence-Based Approaches Delivered Online

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a primary approach used in Sabrina Hanson’s work. IFS helps people identify and relate to the different parts of their inner experience - such as protective or wounded parts - so they can access a calm, centered core self and respond to emotions with greater clarity. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is another trauma-informed method she uses; it focuses on processing distressing memories to reduce their emotional intensity and relieve symptoms related to past events.

Sabrina also integrates addiction-focused strategies that combine relapse prevention, coping skills, and an understanding of underlying trauma when relevant. She approaches treatment collaboratively, inviting feedback so that therapeutic techniques are tailored to the individual’s needs, goals, and personal preferences. Together the therapist and individual evaluate what works and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain continuity of care across different locations. These options provide flexibility in scheduling and communication style, allowing people to engage in therapy in ways that suit their routines and comfort levels while working with licensed professionals.
