Sabrina Gonzalez , LICSW, LCSW

Sabrina Gonzalez is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship difficulties. She works with clients facing LGBT-related concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and intimacy-related issues. Her approach aims to make therapy practical and understandable for busy lives.

Sabrina focuses on building a safe, respectful space and listens closely before suggesting steps forward. She adapts sessions to each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Expect plain language, gentle curiosity, and concrete tools you can try between visits.

Her work blends techniques that help people notice thoughts and feelings, strengthen close bonds, and change unhelpful behavior patterns. She uses strategies from acceptance and commitment approaches, attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and emotionally focused methods to address everyday problems and deeper wounds.

Over two decades she has supported people dealing with career stress, compassion fatigue, anger, and life transitions like divorce or adoption. She also helps clients with issues tied to family of origin, blended families, and caregiver strain. Sessions aim to clarify goals and build manageable steps toward them.

Sabrina offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. She practices in New Mexico as a Vermont Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and a New Mexico Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LICSW, LCSW. If you want straightforward conversation and practical strategies, she can help you get started.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Sabrina draws from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. She also uses attachment-based therapy to look at relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current connections, which can help with intimacy and family issues.

Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Together they try methods and adjust over time so the work matches the person’s needs.

Online therapy offers ways to make that collaboration easier. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter, flexible touchpoints during the week and can fit into busy schedules. These formats increase access and make it simpler to keep therapy consistent alongside work, parenting, or travel.
