About Sabrina

Sabrina Mayes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New Mexico. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma, anger, and self esteem. Her work emphasizes strengths and small, manageable steps. She aims to make beginning therapy feel doable for people who are nervous to try it.

Sabrina frames clients as the experts on their own lives. She listens for what already works and builds on those strengths. Sessions often focus on concrete skills for coping with intense feelings and breaking unhelpful patterns. She uses straightforward techniques to reduce overwhelm and improve everyday functioning.

Her approach pulls from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to identify thought and behavior patterns and to teach emotion regulation skills. Mindfulness practices are used to increase awareness of feelings and urges without judgment. Motivational Interviewing helps clarify what matters most to each person and supports steps toward those goals.

She has eight years of experience in clinical settings and in direct work with people facing addiction, trauma, grief, and relationship strain. That background guides a practical, goal-oriented style that balances skill teaching with listening. Sabrina encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes.

People who choose to work with her can expect a respectful, down-to-earth tone and a focus on usable tools. She invites prospective clients to take the first step and complete the initial matching process to begin scheduling sessions.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Sabrina draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her online work. CBT helps people notice and reframe unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that are useful for strong feelings and relationship strain.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Sabrina collaborates with each person to match techniques to their goals and life situation. She checks in about what helps and adjusts the plan as needed so the work fits the client's priorities.

Confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine and to maintain momentum between appointments. It can allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, reduce travel time, and let people use mindfulness or behavioral skills in real-life settings during the work. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT exercises to remote sessions so clients keep practicing skills between meetings.
