Sabrina Jelks

Sabrina Jelks is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) practicing in South Carolina with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and people coping with major life changes. Her work also covers stress, career uncertainty, addictions, and a range of family and attachment-related issues.

Sabrina uses straightforward conversation to clarify what matters most to each person. She and the client set practical goals and check progress as they go. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on skills that can reduce stress and increase day-to-day functioning.

Her approach blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral strategies to examine thoughts and behaviors that keep people stuck. Mindfulness techniques are offered to manage overwhelming emotions. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused methods support concrete steps toward change.

Sabrina has experience supporting clients affected by adoption or foster care, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, and first responder-related concerns. She also addresses family of origin issues, forgiveness, body image, and commitment or communication problems.

Practical matters such as scheduling and fees are handled through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session using the See online therapy options button.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting back what someone says to clarify values and priorities. Online sessions use that approach to help people name what matters and set goals for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills for shifting unhelpful patterns. In online appointments CBT can focus on homework, thought records, and brief skill practice between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sabrina will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. That may mean combining client-centered listening with CBT skill-building, mindfulness practices for emotional regulation, or solution-focused steps for immediate concerns.

Confirm the available session formats before booking since specific formats are not listed on the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so appointments can happen between work or family tasks. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to the online setting so sessions remain practical and focused on everyday goals.
