About Sabrina

Sabrina Gonzalez is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience helping people work through a wide range of concerns including LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy challenges, grief, stress, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while shaping a treatment approach that reflects each client's individual circumstances and goals.

Working from New Mexico, she draws on several evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address matters like parenting, career stress, compassion fatigue, anger, and coping with life changes.

Her practice also attends to related themes including abandonment, family of origin issues, adoption and foster care, blended family concerns, and caregiver stress. Sabrina invites clients to collaborate on a tailored plan that fits their needs, acknowledging that reaching out for support is a courageous first step.

She accepts international clients and offers multiple online session formats to make ongoing care more accessible for people with varied schedules and circumstances.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy with Flexible Access



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and develop psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful actions. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions where getting unstuck feels important. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors through practical exercises and skill building, which often helps with anxiety, depression, and anger management. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships and how early attachments shape current emotional responses, supporting work on intimacy, relationship issues, and family of origin concerns.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Sabrina works with each client to match therapeutic methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress and circumstances evolve. The aim is to find a combination that feels practical and respectful of the client's experience.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives or across time zones. These options allow ongoing access to licensed professionals and make it possible to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not feasible.
