Sabrina Gonzalez, LICSW, LCSW

Sabrina Gonzalez is a LICSW (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker) and an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) licensed in New Mexico with 20 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are struggling with anger, relationship strain, trauma, anxiety, depression, and related concerns. She also supports people facing parenting stress, career challenges, grief, and identity questions related to LGBT concerns.

Sabrina keeps sessions straightforward and focused. She listens for what matters most and helps people name patterns that fuel frustration or recurring conflict. Conversations tend to include practical steps you can try between sessions and checking what does or does not help in day-to-day life.

Her approach draws on acceptance and commitment ideas and cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Attachment-based and emotionally-focused perspectives inform work on closeness, boundaries, and trust. She also uses client-centered methods that keep the person’s own goals central to the work.

Sabrina has long experience working with trauma and abuse and with people navigating identity and relationship challenges. That background informs how she responds when anger connects to past hurt or complicated family histories. She pays attention to patterns that repeat across relationships and daily routines.

Sessions emphasize clear goals and small experiments to test new ways of responding. Discussions often include communication skills for tense moments, strategies to manage stress, and ways to rebuild trust after conflict. Clients leave with concrete options to practice between meetings.

To start, Sabrina asks a few questions about current concerns and what you want to change. That helps shape practical steps and a plan for ongoing work.
