Sabrina Word, LCSW

Sabrina Word is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and life transitions. She earned a master’s degree from San Jose State University and combines a background in advocacy, violence prevention, and health education with direct clinical work.

With more than 14 years of experience in the fields of sexual violence and intimate partner violence, Sabrina has spent the past 9 years providing hands-on services to high-acuity clients. Her clinical work has included therapy, case management, and crisis intervention for current and former foster youth. This range of experience informs a practical, trauma-aware approach that centers safety, choice, and the client’s own goals.

As an LCSW, Sabrina brings training in clinical assessment and therapeutic practice to her work; the LCSW credential indicates licensure as a clinical social worker who provides psychotherapy and case coordination. Clients appreciate her warm, inviting manner and the curious, supportive stance she brings as she helps them find their voice and build greater resilience.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Many of Sabrina’s sessions draw on trauma-focused approaches that help people process and recover from experiences such as sexual assault, intimate partner violence, and other forms of trauma. These methods aim to reduce the hold of traumatic memories and support safer, more adaptive responses in daily life.

She also uses attachment-informed work and skills-based strategies to address relationship patterns, control issues, stress, anxiety, and mood concerns. Attachment-focused efforts explore relational histories and current dynamics while practical skills teach coping tools for emotion regulation and problem solving.

Sabrina approaches treatment collaboratively - she will work with each person to identify which techniques fit their needs, goals, and comfort level and will adjust approaches as therapy progresses.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, Sabrina’s online practice emphasizes flexibility and access. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, and geographic constraints while connecting with a licensed professional who tailors care to the individual.
