About Zebrina
Zebrina Rhem is a licensed clinician who focuses on practical strategies to manage strong emotions. She brings seven years of experience to sessions and uses clear tools to help people reduce stress, anger, and anxiety. Zebrina holds an MD and is an LCSW-C - Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical.
She speaks English and works with clients in Maryland and beyond. Her approach centers on helping people notice patterns that make problems worse.
Background and approach
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and to build more useful thinking habits. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. These methods are presented in straightforward, step-by-step ways.
Zebrina helps clients tackle a wide range of concerns. That includes trauma, depression, bipolar symptoms, addictions, and relationship struggles. She also supports people dealing with caregiving stress, workplace pressures, grief, and questions about life purpose.
Anger and self-esteem are regular topics in her work. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Costs vary with location and therapist availability, and services are arranged through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
International clients can be seen when schedules align. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules based on Zebrina’s availability. The early meetings focus on practical goals and simple steps to try between sessions.

How CBT and DBT translate to online care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and issues tied to sleep or eating by giving clear exercises and short experiments to try between sessions.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, emphasizes skills for regulating intense emotions and tolerating distress. It teaches practical techniques like grounding, opposite action, and interpersonal effectiveness that can reduce reactive anger and improve communication.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked before. Together they adjust methods and homework so the plan fits the client’s life and changing needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility and multiple ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill coaching and role-plays. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when camera time is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill reminders, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, and travel schedules while keeping consistent progress.
