About Sandra

She is a New York licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - with 45 years of experience. Sandra aims to create a calm, down-to-earth atmosphere so people can talk openly and begin to make useful changes.

How Sandra works
Sessions emphasize practical steps and clearer thinking so everyday life becomes easier to manage. Her way of working is conversational and collaborative. Clients can expect a relaxed exchange where the therapist listens first, then helps set goals and micro-steps toward them.
Sandra adapts discussions and strategies to match each person’s needs and pace. Over decades of practice she has seen many kinds of struggles and keeps therapy straightforward. The focus is on what matters most to the person in front of her and on building small routines that support change.
People who prefer a supportive, steady presence often find this style helpful. To begin, a short questionnaire and an initial scheduling step connect a person to sessions. Therapy is offered through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and appointments happen by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

How ACT and Client-Centered Work Online
Sandra uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT focuses on accepting difficult feelings while committing to small steps that move life in a meaningful direction. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person, offering an empathic, nonjudgmental space so goals and solutions come from the person themself.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Sandra will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. The process begins with listening, then testing practical techniques together and adjusting based on what helps.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and shared visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing support between sessions or for people who prefer writing. These options make scheduling easier and let therapy fit into busy lives.
