About
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 facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, relationship and family challenges, grief, parenting strain, low self-esteem, and ADHD. Sabrina also lists codependency, communication problems, control issues, and drug and alcohol addiction among her focus areas.
Sabrina’s approach begins with practical skills. She uses methods that help people change thoughts and behaviors, build emotional regulation, and create clearer communication. Sessions are straightforward and action oriented, with room for reflection and problem solving.
She treats addiction and substance concerns alongside underlying stress and trauma. That means talking through coping strategies, identifying patterns that keep people stuck, and setting small, doable goals. Clients can expect discussions about what gets in the way of healthier choices and steps to test new habits.
Sabrina values the client’s knowledge of their own life. She draws on motivational interviewing to help people find what matters most to them. She also uses skill-building from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when that suits the work.
Practical matters such as scheduling and next steps are kept simple. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
How sessions work
How her main approaches work online
CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Online CBT sessions often include setting concrete goals, practicing new skills between sessions, and reviewing what worked. DBT offers tools for managing strong emotions and reducing reactive behavior. Its skills focus - like distress tolerance and emotion regulation - can be practiced during sessions and applied in everyday situations. Mindfulness-based work teaches simple attention and breathing techniques to reduce reactivity and increase moment-to-moment awareness, which supports stress, anxiety, and impulse control.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sabrina will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She combines or adapts methods when needed so the plan fits the person rather than a single protocol being imposed.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, cut down on travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. For people balancing work, parenting, or treatment commitments, remote sessions can help keep continuity of care while practicing skills in day-to-day settings.
