About Sabena
Sabena Nanji is a licensed professional counselor in Texas with 14 years of experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Sabena focuses on helping people find practical ways to feel steadier and more confident in day-to-day life.
She listens closely and builds a plan that fits each person's goals and strengths. Sessions are collaborative and down-to-earth. Sabena aims to make therapy a place where people feel heard and treated with respect.
Background and approach
In sessions she helps people sort through painful feelings like guilt, shame, or isolation. She also works with mood challenges and problems that affect communication. When needed she addresses issues tied to divorce or separation and disruptive mood patterns such as Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder.
Her approach centers on learning tools that can be used between meetings. That can mean practicing new ways to manage anger, improving how someone talks about needs, or building routines that reduce anxiety. The emphasis is on small, manageable steps that add up over time.
Sabena frames progress as a process rather than a quick fix. She partners with each person to set realistic goals and adjust the plan as things change. Therapy is paced to match what the person can handle and what they want to achieve.
Online approaches and flexible session options
Sabena uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and steady progress. One common approach emphasizes building coping skills to reduce anxiety and manage stress; it teaches breathing, grounding, and step-by-step strategies to handle overwhelming moments. Another focuses on emotion regulation and communication work to help people express needs, reduce angry reactions, and repair frayed interactions.Choosing the right approach happens together. Sabena will talk with each person about goals, life demands, and what feels most helpful, then tailor methods to those needs. The plan is adjusted over time based on what works and what doesn’t, so the work stays relevant and manageable.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging offer flexibility for quick updates, brief check-ins, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule while staying connected with a licensed professional.
