About Sabrina

Sabrina Gonzalez is a LICSW and LCSW licensed in New Mexico with 20 years of professional experience. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and abuse, and LGBT-related concerns. She also supports those dealing with relationship patterns, intimacy questions, grief, parenting strain, and career stress.

Sabrina uses clear, conversational sessions rather than clinical jargon. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at patterns of emotion and attachment, and she also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques when helpful. Sessions are designed to identify what matters most and practice small, manageable changes.

People come to her for support with self-esteem, anger, navigating life changes, and coping with compassion fatigue or caregiver stress. She also works with issues tied to family of origin, adoption and foster care, abandonment, and fatherhood concerns. Clinical topics noted in her background include ADHD-related struggles, disruptive mood dysregulation issues, and effects of domestic violence.

Her approach centers on listening and on working collaboratively to set goals. Conversations move between understanding feelings and trying concrete strategies that can change day-to-day life. She emphasizes practical steps clients can use between sessions.

Sabrina offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on naming and working with emotions tied to attachment and relationship patterns, which can help people notice recurring interactions and feel differently about them. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills to accept difficult thoughts while committing to actions that reflect personal values, useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early bonds and how they shape current relationships, helping people understand patterns that repeat across situations.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferred ways of working, and which methods make sense together. Together they decide whether to emphasize emotional processing, behavioral experiments, or values-based action in sessions.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering flexibility across different time zones for international clients. It also lets people use video or audio in ways that match their comfort and bandwidth. Licensed professionals adapt tools from EFT, ACT, and CBT to make sessions practical and focused on everyday changes.
