About Sabrina
Sabrina Gonzalez is a licensed clinical social worker in New Mexico, holding VT LICSW and NM LCSW credentials and bringing 20 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing parenting strain, relationship stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and LGBT-related concerns. Sessions focus on practical steps a person can use at home and in relationships.
Sabrina uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels most urgent. She helps people sort through grief, anger, and the aftermath of abuse. For parents and adult children she addresses family conflict, blended family challenges, and fatherhood issues without making assumptions about family structure.
Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. She blends cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice thoughts and act on chosen values. Attachment-based work and emotionally focused ideas guide discussions about closeness, boundaries, and healing from past wounds.
In sessions she listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and offers small experiments to try between meetings. Work might include shifting unhelpful thinking, practicing different ways to ask for needs, or learning calming strategies for intense moments. The emphasis is on clear, usable steps rather than abstract theory.
Sabrina also supports people dealing with caregiving stress, compassion fatigue, adoption and foster care concerns, and work-related strain such as issues first responders bring. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. To begin, the reader is asked to use the online sign-up to match and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Sabrina often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify personal values and take small actions that match those values. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings so they stop driving behavior, which can help with anxiety, stress, and life transitions.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns of closeness and distance in relationships. This work can help people understand why they react strongly in family situations and try new ways of connecting or setting boundaries.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sabrina will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to use based on current problems and goals. That choice can shift over time as progress is reviewed and new challenges appear.
