Online support options
Approaches and online care that fit your life
Sandra often uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person leads the conversation and goals come from what matters most to them. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance and support as a first step toward change.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. That method helps identify unhelpful patterns and teaches practical strategies for managing anxiety, mood concerns, sleep, and coping with cravings or urges.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sandra will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and daily life, and she adjusts plans as progress is made and needs shift.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video lets people use visual cues during deeper work, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can fit quick check-ins or brief coaching during a busy day. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or unpredictable schedules while keeping focus on the same therapeutic goals used in in-person care.
