About Sabrina
Sabrina Gonzalez is a licensed social worker practicing in New Mexico with two decades of clinical experience supporting people through relationship challenges, trauma, and identity-related concerns.
Background and approach
She works with clients facing anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and self-esteem struggles and offers guidance for intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. Her background also includes work on adoption and foster care matters, attachment and family-of-origin patterns, and domestic violence recovery.
Her approach combines practical, evidence-informed strategies with a respectful, person-centered stance. Sabrina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside acceptance-based and attachment-focused methods to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns, develop coping skills, and strengthen meaningful connections.
She adapts conversations and treatment plans to reflect each person’s unique circumstances and goals, emphasizing sensitivity and compassion in every session. Clients who are considering a change or seeking relief from difficult emotions will find collaborative support aimed at clearer thinking and more effective everyday choices.
Sabrina holds licenses in both Vermont and New Mexico as LICSW and LCSW and welcomes English-speaking clients, including those located internationally. She offers sessions through a range of online formats to fit different schedules and preferences.
Online approaches that combine skills and connection
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering concrete tools for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and day-to-day difficulties. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and building psychological flexibility by accepting difficult feelings while taking committed action toward what matters. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses, and it can be especially helpful for people working on intimacy, family dynamics, and attachment concerns.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Sabrina will work with each client to determine which methods align with their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and she adapts treatment over time so therapy remains useful and relevant.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access regular sessions from different locations and allow clients to choose the way of communicating that fits them best, while continuing to work on concrete skills, relationship patterns, and coping strategies with a licensed professional.
