About Sabrina
Sabrina Gonzalez is a licensed clinical social worker with twenty years of experience helping people facing a wide range of challenges. She works with clients who are coping with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, career stress, ADHD concerns, and issues related to identity and LGBT matters.
Sabrina uses straightforward, collaborative conversations to identify what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
She adapts sessions to fit the situation, mixing practical strategies and reflective work. Clients can expect clear goals, skill-building, and room to talk through painful experiences at a steady pace. Her approach blends methods that focus on thoughts and behaviors with those that emphasize emotions and attachment.
That mix helps when someone needs skills to manage symptoms and also wants to repair relationships or process past hurt. Sessions are shaped around individual needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Sabrina holds both a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker credential and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, listed as VT LICSW 089.0135936 and NM LCSW C-11074.
She practices from New Mexico and offers services in English. International clients are also accepted. Beginning therapy often feels hard.
Sabrina aims to make the steps small and manageable. She helps people set realistic goals, practice new ways of coping, and notice progress over time.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take small steps toward them. It focuses on building psychological flexibility so thoughts and feelings have less control over actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence mood and stress and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotions and how they shape relationships; it can help people repair connection and express needs more clearly.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, history, and preferences, then try strategies that fit those needs. Over time the approach can be adjusted based on what helps most and what feels comfortable.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy days and varied schedules. Video calls allow more face-to-face interaction while phone sessions need less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging provide short check-ins or ongoing written support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting work, caregiving, or travel plans into life.
