About Sabrina

Sabrina Gonzalez is a licensed clinician in New Mexico with 20 years of professional experience. She supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, grief, and concerns related to LGBT identity. She also helps with parenting stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and life transitions.

Her style is respectful and down-to-earth. She listens first, then adapts conversation and goals to fit each person’s needs. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps and on noticing what matters most to the client.

Sabrina uses a mix of approaches depending on the situation. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking. She uses attachment-informed ideas to look at emotional patterns that affect relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports values-based choices when coping feels overwhelming.

She welcomes discussion about adoption and foster care concerns alongside family of origin issues, abandonment, and blended family stress. She also brings experience supporting people after domestic violence, separation, caregiving strain, and career-related pressure.

Sabrina aims to build a plan that fits everyday life. She meets people where they are and works collaboratively on goals. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she offers steady support while you try different strategies and notice what helps.

How her approaches work online and in session

Sabrina commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy into her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take small actions that reflect what matters most. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at emotional patterns that repeat in relationships and helps people try new ways of connecting and responding. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit their situation. If something does not feel helpful, adjustments are made together so the work stays useful and realistic. Confirm the therapist's current online session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports continuity of care for international clients who choose to work with licensed professionals across distances.
