Sabrina Gonzalez, LICSW, LCSW

Sabrina Gonzalez is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience helping people navigate trauma and abuse, relationship struggles, anxiety, depression, and LGBT-related concerns. She works with individuals who are facing grief, parenting strain, career stress, or changes that feel overwhelming. Sabrina emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every conversation. In sessions she adapts her approach to each person's needs. She draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered work to shape practical steps and clearer thinking. Her style is collaborative and straightforward, focusing on what feels most useful to the person in front of her. Sabrina helps clients talk through painful past events and current conflicts. She pays attention to how attachment patterns and emotional responses affect daily life and relationships. Together with the client she sets realistic goals and practices small changes that add up over time. Over two decades of practice have included a wide range of concerns such as self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, anger, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and family-of-origin problems. She also addresses topics like abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, caregiver stress, and first responder issues. Her work is rooted in listening first, then offering tools drawn from evidence-informed approaches. Sabrina encourages people to take the next step when they feel ready and supports them through the process of change.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Sabrina practices Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy among other approaches. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed steps toward them while learning to sit with difficult feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and focuses on building safer emotional connections in relationships. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify which methods suit their goals and preferences, and will adjust strategies over time as needs change. The biography does not specify which online session formats are available, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can help fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and making it easier to schedule brief check-ins around work or caregiving. It can also allow people to choose a setting that feels calmer for emotional work, and it can make regular meetings simpler when clients live far from providers.
