About Sabrina
Sabrina Gonzalez is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, licensed in New Mexico with 20 years of professional experience. She focuses on concerns such as LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, grief, anxiety, depression, parenting stresses, anger, and coping with life changes. She also addresses intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem, career pressures, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
Her approach is practical and conversational. She uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based work, and client-centered techniques. Sessions are aimed at clarifying what matters to the person and building steps to handle everyday challenges. Conversations are straightforward and goal-oriented rather than full of jargon.
Sabrina adapts the session pace to what each person needs. She works with parents on family conflict, blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and fatherhood topics. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, family-of-origin problems, caregiver stress, and the aftermath of domestic violence.
Over her career she has assisted first responders and people facing aging or geriatric concerns, disruptive mood issues, divorce and separation, and struggles with emptiness or forgiveness. Her work includes helping with grief, career decisions, and rebuilding intimacy after loss or trauma.
She asks straightforward questions, listens for practical barriers, and helps people try small, manageable changes between sessions. To begin she guides clients through a short planning process that leads to a first session and clear next steps.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take practical steps toward what matters. It can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying experiments to change behavior and mood. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by giving concrete tools for daily problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how emotions affect relationships and helps people notice patterns and respond differently to connection and conflict.Choosing the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through your goals and preferences and recommend approaches that fit your situation. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm available formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time for appointments. They also let people meet with a licensed professional from different locations, which can help when local options are limited.
