Sabrina Gohlke, MSW, LCSW
Sabrina Gohlke is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in trauma, anxiety, nervous system regulation, and performance under pressure. She has extensive experience working with veterans, first responders, healthcare professionals, athletes, moms, and adults navigating chronic stress and high-demand environments.
In her clinical practice, Sabrina helps individuals move out of chronic survival mode by understanding how stress and past experiences shape the brain, body, thoughts, emotions, and behavior. Her approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, somatic awareness, and nervous-system-informed strategies. Her style is practical, collaborative, direct, and experiential — helping people work with their nervous system rather than trying to control or eliminate stress.
With Criterion One, Sabrina helps individuals build nervous system awareness, recognize how stress uniquely shows up in their body, thoughts, emotions, and behavior, and develop individualized cues and reset strategies for performing under pressure. Her work addresses performance anxiety, perfectionism, self-criticism, confidence, identity, and the tendency to tie self-worth to outcomes. The goal is not to eliminate stress, but to build the capacity to experience pressure without becoming overwhelmed by it — remaining connected and alert, responding to what is actually happening, and meeting the moment rather than automatically reacting from survival patterns.
