About Sabrina
Sabrina Mayes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Mexico with eight years of professional experience. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting, self-esteem, and ADHD. Sessions are conducted in English and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
Sabrina views clients as experts on their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. She focuses on practical skills and clear steps that reduce flare-ups and increase coping options. In sessions she talks through real-life triggers and helps people notice patterns that make anger and frustration worse.
Her approach blends evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That mix is used to teach specific tools - for example thought tracking, distress tolerance, motivational techniques for change, and brief goal-focused plans.
Sabrina also brings experience working with substance use and codependency issues, plus communication and control problems that often sit under anger. She helps people set boundaries and practice new ways of speaking up without escalating conflict.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Sabrina commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when working online. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to change emotional reactions. DBT emphasizes skills for managing distress, reducing impulsive responses, and improving emotion regulation.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice bodily signals and early signs of anger so they can use grounding or breathing skills. Together these approaches aim to give short, usable strategies that fit into daily routines rather than long theoretical discussions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sabrina will collaborate with clients to decide which methods feel most useful based on goals and what has or has not helped before. She adjusts the plan as needed so sessions stay practical and focused on noticeable change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and support practicing skills in the context of everyday life. Many people find remote sessions help them bring real situations into discussion without added travel time.
