About Sabrina

Sabrina Mayes is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New Mexico who focuses on practical ways to relieve depression, stress, and anxiety. She draws on evidence-informed methods to help people manage emotions, reduce harmful behaviors, and build steadier routines. Her style centers on clear steps and real-life tools rather than long theory sessions.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep problems going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills show up when strong feelings need grounding and better coping strategies. Mindfulness techniques help people notice their experience without judgment, which often eases intense reactions.

Mayes also applies Motivational Interviewing to support people who are unsure about change, especially around addictions or alcohol and drug concerns. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set short-term goals and find small wins that add up. These approaches are mixed to match what each person wants to work on.

Across eight years of practice she has worked with people dealing with trauma and abuse, anger, relationship and family problems, grief, parenting strain, self-esteem struggles, and ADHD symptoms. She emphasizes collaboration and respects each person’s strengths when setting goals.

To begin, a prospective client completes a brief matching questionnaire and schedules sessions based on therapist availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Confirm current session formats before booking.

How these approaches work for online therapy

Many sessions draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviors that keep problems alive and testing small changes to see what helps. This approach is useful for depression, anxiety, and daily routines that feel out of control. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance; it can help when anger or strong reactions make life harder.

Mindfulness Therapy is also used to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and build self-awareness. Together these methods give concrete tools that a person can use between sessions and in real situations rather than only talking about feelings.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose and adapt approaches based on your goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and changing course when needed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow regular check-ins that support steady change. Licensed professionals can use these sessions to teach skills, set short goals, and track progress over time.
