About Sabrina
Sabrina Mayes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New Mexico with eight years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. She also helps people facing relationship and family problems, grief, parenting pressures, self-esteem struggles, and ADHD concerns.
Sabrina focuses on practical, skills-based work. She uses straightforward conversation to identify patterns that keep problems going. Then she helps people try concrete steps to change those patterns. Sessions often include learning new coping skills and practicing ways to manage intense feelings.
She views each person as the expert on their own life and builds on the strengths clients already have. That means she listens first, then suggests small experiments clients can use between sessions. The approach is collaborative and action-oriented rather than lecture-based.
Sabrina draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior ideas to help with thinking patterns and emotional regulation. She also uses mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods to set goals and track progress. These methods are used in simple, practical ways aimed at everyday problems.
If someone is unsure where to start, Sabrina helps narrow goals into manageable steps. She encourages people to try a first session and see how the work feels. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Sabrina commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT focuses on small experiments and practical steps to shift thinking and behavior. Dialectical behavior ideas teach emotional regulation and distress-tolerance skills so intense feelings cause less disruption in daily life. Mindfulness therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build calm awareness.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sabrina will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then pick or combine methods that fit those aims. She treats the first few sessions as a chance to test what helps and to adjust plans together rather than making a fixed program up front.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In practice, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so work or family breaks are easier to manage. Licensed professionals delivering this kind of work focus on making exercises and skill practice usable between sessions so progress can happen in day-to-day life.
