About Sabrina

Sabrina Vonderhaar brings a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach to supporting people who are struggling with problematic substance use and related challenges. She centers her work on understanding each person's unique history, listening for the factors that keep patterns in place, and offering practical, evidence-based tools to support change. Rather than lecturing, she partners with individuals to explore root causes, develop healthier coping strategies, and build a sustainable path forward toward sobriety and well-being.

Sabrina emphasizes a collaborative relationship in which people are invited to uncover their own strengths and resources. Her practice focuses on creating space for honest reflection, skill development, and gradual progress so that change feels achievable and meaningful. She believes that people have the capacity for profound transformation and aims to help them reclaim a life that feels authentic and fulfilling.

She earned a Masters Degree in Forensic Mental Health Counseling in 2020 from John Jay College of Criminal Justice. She holds the credential LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor - and is also certified as an International Alcohol and Drug Counselor (IADC) in Iowa, indicating specialized training in substance use assessment and treatment.

Approaches That Support Change in Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on treating people with respect and empathy, creating a supportive environment where individuals are encouraged to explore their feelings and goals at their own pace. It helps with motivation, self-understanding, and building trust in the therapeutic relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a practical, skills-based approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is widely used for anxiety, depression, mood concerns, and patterns that maintain substance use. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative conversation style that helps people find and strengthen their own motivation to change, making it especially useful for addictions and ambivalence about recovery.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sabrina works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve. This collaborative process helps ensure treatment feels personalized and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of support during life transitions. For many people, remote sessions provide a convenient way to engage in consistent, focused work with a licensed professional from wherever they are located in Iowa.
