About Sabrina
LCSW Sabrina Mayes practices in New Mexico and has eight years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting, self-esteem, and ADHD. She uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy.
Sabrina centers sessions on what each person brings and the strengths they already have. She treats people as the experts on their own stories and works with them to build practical skills. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, trying strategies to manage emotion and behavior, and setting small goals to test what helps.
Her work with addiction and substance concerns combines motivational interviewing with skill-based strategies to reduce harm and increase readiness for change. For anxiety, depression, and trauma-related stress she draws on CBT and DBT techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and flexible thinking. Mindfulness practices are used to help people notice patterns without judgment.
Sabrina aims to make next steps concrete. She helps people identify one or two manageable changes and tracks how those changes affect daily life. That approach is meant to make progress visible and adjust plans if something does not help.
People who reach out usually start with a short intake to describe their main concerns and goals. Sabrina asks about current challenges and what a better week would look like, then co-creates a plan that fits the person’s priorities.

How Sabrina uses evidence-based approaches in remote care
Online work with Sabrina draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing alongside mindfulness practices. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety or depression. Motivational Interviewing focuses on strengthening a person’s own reasons for change and increasing readiness to address addictions or other behaviors. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve noticing of emotions.Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps. Early sessions clarify priorities and set short goals so you can see whether an approach is working for you.
The practical benefits of working remotely include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to have regular check-ins, try brief coaching-style meetings, or schedule longer therapy visits without rearranging a full day.
