Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Sandra commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and developing psychological flexibility - it helps people accept difficult feelings while committing to actions that reflect what matters most. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and respect, creating space for clients to explore feelings and build self-understanding at their own pace. CBT looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies to reduce symptoms and change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is treated as a collaboration. Sandra will work with each person to identify which methods align with their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Sandra can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules or mobility limitations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from home, and access support when life circumstances make in-person visits difficult. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt these formats to deliver effective, person-centered care.
