About Sabrina

Sabrina Gonzalez is a licensed social worker with 20 years of experience in New Mexico. She helps people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, LGBT-related concerns, parenting stress, and changes in life circumstances. Her approach is respectful and compassionate and focused on what each person actually needs.

She listens first and tailors conversations to each person’s situation. Sessions are practical and aim to change everyday thoughts and habits that get in the way of feeling better. She works with issues like self-esteem, anger, grief, intimacy-related struggles, career stress, and compassion fatigue.

Sabrina draws from several therapy styles to match what feels most useful. She uses approaches that include acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based work, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, and emotionally-focused strategies. These are combined to suit the problem at hand rather than to follow one rigid method.

Her work also covers concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, family of origin issues, and first responder stress. She addresses more specific areas too, including ADHD-related challenges, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder concerns, and issues arising from divorce or domestic violence.

People who choose her can expect straightforward conversation, clear goals, and a plan that fits daily life. She supports clients through change with steady, respectful guidance and practical tools to shift thoughts and habits.

How her approaches fit with online therapy

Sabrina draws on a few complementary methods to help people change thoughts and everyday habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values; it can help with anxiety, stress, and motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connections and trust, which can help with intimacy-related issues and relationship repair. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Decisions about methods are collaborative and may change as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes access possible for people who live outside the therapist's office area, including international clients who are accepted. Licensed professionals will adapt exercises and tools so they work well through the available session format.
