About Sabrina

Sabrina Mayes is an LCSW practicing in New Mexico who integrates practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, anger, and depression. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a core framework alongside skills-based approaches to support improvements in coping, emotional regulation, and daily functioning.

Background and approach

Sabrina frames clients as the experts of their own stories and emphasizes building on personal strengths to address both immediate concerns and longer-term patterns. With eight years of professional experience, she routinely works with issues related to relationships, family dynamics, grief, parenting challenges, self-esteem, ADHD, and substance use.

Her additional focuses include codependency, communication difficulties, control issues, and drug and alcohol addiction. Sabrina encourages each person to take the next step at a pace that feels manageable and honors the courage it takes to begin therapy, offering a collaborative partnership that centers client goals and practical change.

Combining cognitive and skills-based work in online therapy



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression; it often includes practical exercises and homework to promote change. Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills that can be useful for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive behaviors. Mindfulness Therapy offers techniques to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, supporting stress reduction and improved focus.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, adapting methods over time so the plan fits the individual’s needs and pace.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats allow continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult and make it easier to integrate therapy into daily life through convenient, varied ways to connect with a licensed professional.
