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, grief, trauma and a range of relationship and life-change concerns. Sabrina also helps people struggling with self-esteem, career decisions, addictions, intimacy-related problems, and family or communication difficulties.
Her usual approach begins with building a practical working relationship. She listens to what is happening now and what the client wants to change. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps clients can try between meetings. Sabrina uses a mix of methods to match what each person needs.
She draws on client-centered work to keep the conversation grounded in the client’s priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used when people want to change thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going. Mindfulness practices and solution-focused tools are offered to help with stress management and short-term progress.
Sabrina has supported people through adoption and foster care issues, attachment questions, body image concerns, and caregiver stress. She has experience addressing chronic pain or illness, first responder challenges, family of origin problems, and recovery from domestic violence and abuse.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Sabrina commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as foundations for work online. Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist focuses on the client’s priorities and uses active listening to shape each session. This approach helps people who need to clarify what matters and set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy involves identifying thought and behavior patterns that maintain problems and trying practical strategies to change them. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to help with stress and emotional regulation. Mindfulness offers simple exercises to notice thoughts and bodily sensations, which can reduce reactivity and support clearer decision-making. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process; the therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a client’s situation and goals.
Session formats and scheduling options should be confirmed before booking, since specific formats were not detailed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or caregiving by removing travel time and allowing shorter or more flexible appointments when appropriate. Discuss session length and timing during intake to match therapy to everyday life.
