Sabrina Word, LCSW

Sabrina Word is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with nine years of direct clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and managing life changes. Sabrina speaks English and works with people navigating the effects of sexual assault, domestic violence, and attachment or control issues.

Before her current clinical work she earned a master’s degree from San Jose State University. Much of her background involves advocacy, violence prevention, and health education. Her earlier roles included supporting people affected by sexual and intimate partner violence and providing outreach in community settings.

Over the past nine years she has delivered therapy, case management, and crisis services to people with high acuity needs, including current and former foster youth. That experience shapes how she handles immediate safety concerns and ongoing stressors in sessions. She brings practical strategies for managing symptoms and day-to-day functioning.

In sessions she listens for what feels most pressing and helps people name next steps. Conversations tend to focus on coping skills, processing difficult events, and addressing relationship patterns that cause recurring stress. When appropriate she combines short-term problem solving with longer-term work on patterns such as attachment and control issues.

People who seek her help can expect straightforward, work-focused conversations about concrete changes to try between meetings. She uses her experience with trauma, intimate partner violence, and health education to inform how she supports recovery and safety planning.
