Hi there! My name is Sabrina Brijbassi, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in the state of Florida working with clients via telehealth. I work primarily with adults and late teens from a variety of backgrounds and identities. I aim to provide supportive care and specialize in anxiety, OCD, depression, trauma, and disordered eating. My approach to therapy is a good fit for late teens into late adulthood. Using evidence-based practice, I bring an effective and individualized treatment approach to address presenting concerns, including but not limited to, anxiety, stress, OCD, depression, trauma, and disordered eating. I strive to help others as best as I can to work toward their therapeutic goals. I aim to provide a safe and open space for those seeking to make changes in their lives to improve their quality of life and encourage value-driven actions. I strive to advocate for my clients and create an environment that is culturally sensitive and inclusive of those from any background or identity. I meet clients in session with empathy, open-mindedness, and the determination to support them in their endeavors.

You want change but don't know where to start. You might be experiencing debilitating emotional, psychological, and/or physical pain. Or depression that leaves you feeling lost and alone. Maybe you have intense anxiety and fear that prevents you from connecting with those you love and that keeps you from feeling accomplished. Perhaps a slow eroding of your self-esteem has taken root and negatively impacting your abilities to see the wonder and awe in the world. If you are experiencing any of these feelings, emotions, or life challenges, please know that you are not alone. In collaboration we will heal the root of pain and create a path to your heart center where you are free of burdens and able to thrive. I am a skilled clinician who is authentic, intuitive, and focused. My counseling approach is individualized where I draw from current research in brain science, physiology of trauma, counseling, positive psychology, existential philosophy, and mind sight. I provide services in a culturally sensitive and trauma informed manner where you feel safe and capable to ignite your curiosity, where you will gain insight into your heart wisdom and intelligence, and where meaningful releases of painful body sensations and memories happens without being re-traumatized. Positive change is possible. I am here for you.

Everyone wants to feel seen and understood — that’s the heart of my work. My goal is to create a space where you can be honest, curious, and supported as you figure things out. I’m certified in EMDR, Circle of Security Parenting International and TF-CBT, and I use a mix of evidence-based approaches, sarcasm, and real talk to help you feel seen and supported. Therapy with me is collaborative, grounded, and occasionally lighthearted — because healing is serious, but it doesn’t always have to feel heavy. I’m a therapist who won't just pat you on the back and agree with everything you say; I will make you feel seen and understood while also challenging you, holding you accountable, and pushing you toward becoming the best version of yourself and the person you want to be.

Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida and I obtained my Master’s degree from the University of West Florida.

These difficult symptoms and situations often hinder individuals' ability to function effectively and derive enjoyment from life, making it imperative to seek appropriate support and guidance.

Hello, I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who's been licensed in the state of Florida since 2013. I've been in private practice since 2017. It is my belief that the most important thing a therapist can do is carefully listen to their patients to help them feel understood and validated. I also teach evidence based techniques that help my client learn how to work through difficult emotions so they can focus living a rich and meaningful life.

The path you’ve traveled has formed who you are today. To navigate that journey, you likely developed specific behaviors to help you feel safe, seen, or even just to survive. These patterns were once your necessary protectors, but sometimes they stop working for us as we grow. When circumstances change, our internal responses often do not adapt as quickly. This is because the body and mind can react to anything resembling a past challenge as a means of protection, keeping us stuck in cycles that no longer serve our current life. My goal is to walk alongside you as we create small, consistent shifts, just 1% at a time, to move from distress toward emotive wellness. Together, we will learn to meet these triggers with curiosity rather than judgment. We will examine the core beliefs that shape your world and begin to lay down firm foundations regarding who you are. At the heart of this work is a focus on both individual and relational health. We want to cut through the noise of expectations so you can finally embrace your truest self, not just the person you feel expected to be. By identifying how your survival mechanisms once helped you, we can begin to shift those behaviors into tools that foster genuine connection and lasting relief.
