About Sabrina
Sabrina Mayes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with eight years of practice in New Mexico. She focuses on practical strategies to reduce stress and anxiety, manage anger, and address addictions. Sabrina writes plainly and aims to make the first steps into therapy feel doable for people who are worried or overwhelmed.
She works from a strengths-based view, treating each person as the expert on their life. Sessions center on simple, actionable steps.
Background and approach
Conversations often look at current problems and build skills to change unhelpful patterns. Sabrina uses tools from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches to help people shift thoughts and develop coping skills. She also draws on mindfulness and motivational interviewing to support motivation and present-moment handling of stress.
Solution-focused techniques help set clear, short-term goals and small experiments between sessions. Her practice covers common concerns like depression, grief, relationship and family problems, self-esteem struggles, and ADHD-related challenges. She also supports people working through communication problems, control issues, and codependency, as well as drug and alcohol addiction.
Sessions can involve talking through habits, practicing new ways to respond, and planning doable steps at home. Sabrina encourages a collaborative pace so goals match what each person wants. She aims to make therapy straightforward and useful from the first meeting.

How evidence-based methods translate to online care
Sabrina draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to shape online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which works well for anxiety, depression, and parenting stress. DBT adds practical coping skills for strong emotions and improves communication when feelings run high.She also incorporates mindfulness practices to help people stay present and notice reactions without judgment. These approaches are used collaboratively so the therapist and client pick methods that fit goals and daily life. Sabrina encourages input on what feels most helpful and adjusts plans as progress is made.
Online therapy with her uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face when a longer conversation is needed. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, skill practice, or quick coaching between longer sessions.
These options aim to make therapy easier to attend and to fit around busy parenting schedules and work demands. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to each format so sessions stay focused and practical, no matter how you connect.
