About Sabrina
Sabrina Vonderhaar is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who uses practical, person-centered care to help people manage anger and related concerns. She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on real-life skills. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental.
Sabrina aims to help people find clearer ways to respond when strong feelings arise. Sabrina draws on client-centered therapy to listen closely and shape treatment around each person's experience. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify thinking patterns that fuel anger and to teach tools for shifting those patterns.
Background and approach
Mindfulness practices are woven in to help people notice emotions without acting on impulse. Her background includes four years working with addictions and mood concerns, so she often supports people who are juggling anger alongside substance or process-related struggles. She also addresses issues like anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and relationship problems.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, focused on small steps that build new habits over time. Sabrina received her master’s degree in Forensic Mental Health Counseling in 2020 and holds the LMHC credential. She provides care from Iowa and conducts sessions in English.
Online formats include video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. People who contact her typically start by describing what feels most urgent - for example, trouble controlling temper, conflict at work, or stress that feels overwhelming. From there she helps map out an approach that combines listening, skill-building, and short-term goals to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day functioning.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and shaping sessions around each person's needs. Online, this means the therapist asks about what matters most and tailors exercises and goals to fit daily life challenges, such as impulsive reactions or workplace stress.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions, CBT uses brief exercises and homework to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new responses to anger triggers over the week.
Mindfulness therapy teaches noticing sensations and emotions without immediately reacting. Through guided practices over video or audio, people learn simple grounding techniques to use in high-stress moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then adapt methods collaboratively. Plans often mix approaches so tools match real-world situations and personal comfort with different formats.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and in-session practice, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low, live chat is good for check-ins, and text-based messaging supports short reflections or coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit skill-building into a daily routine and keep momentum between meetings.
