About Sandra
Sandra uses a person-centered approach that looks at life circumstances, strengths, and relationships. Sessions commonly include developing emotion regulation skills, improving communication, and practicing mindfulness. She works with people across diverse backgrounds, including members of the LGBTQIA+ community and neurodivergent individuals.
Her methods draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address patterns of thinking and behavior. Sandra helps people identify unhelpful thoughts, try new coping strategies, and make values-based choices. Work often includes short exercises and take-home practice to reinforce skills between sessions.
Clients come for a mix of concerns such as relationship strain, addiction-related issues, sleep troubles, anger, trauma and abuse, attention differences, and life transitions. Sandra also supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment issues, chronic illness or pain, caregiving stress, and changes brought by separation or divorce.
Sessions are collaborative and straightforward. Sandra helps set clear, realistic goals and adjusts plans as needs change. To begin, prospective clients use the continue button on this profile and complete a brief matching questionnaire to schedule according to therapist availability.
Online approaches that focus on skills and values
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while reducing avoidance. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and trouble staying motivated. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical changes in behavior to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, or sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills when strong emotions or relationship conflicts are common.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sandra will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they will try techniques, review what helps, and adjust the plan over time so it fits the client’s life.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy day and options that reduce travel time. Different formats can also make sessions shorter or allow check-in conversations when that works better for a person’s schedule. The therapist directory notes that session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking to learn which online session styles are offered and which best fit day-to-day life.
