About Sabrina
Sabrina Gonzalez is a licensed social worker in New Mexico with 20 years of professional experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She also supports those handling relationship strain, parenting worries, grief, and LGBT-related concerns. Her style is direct and respectful.
She focuses on listening first and then working together on clear goals. Sabrina uses practical tools drawn from several approaches to help people change unhelpful behaviors and feel more connected to their values.
Background and approach
She often combines exercises to notice thoughts and feelings with steps to try different behaviors. Sessions are paced to match each person's needs and readiness. People can expect a calm, nonjudgmental conversation that prioritizes their priorities.
Sabrina pays attention to family of origin issues, attachment patterns, and how past hurt shows up in current relationships. She also helps with career stress, caregiver strain, and compassion fatigue for professionals. Her background includes long experience with trauma and abuse, as well as work around abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, and blended family issues.
She helps people with anger, intimacy-related problems, and difficult life transitions. Sabrina frames therapy as a collaborative process. She will tailor conversations and plans to your situation, checking in about what works and what needs to change.
The aim is steady, achievable progress rather than quick fixes.

Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and then take small actions that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people build safer, more connected ways of relating when old hurts keep repeating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which is helpful for depression, anxiety, and anger.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sabrina will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what helps most in real life.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, processing between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options give flexibility for scheduling, pace, and how someone prefers to connect with a licensed professional.
