About Sandra
Dr. Sandra Moreland is a licensed psychologist based in Oregon. She holds a doctorate degree in psychology and brings 15 years of clinical experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, and persistent pain.
Her work often focuses on grief, loss of motivation, and rebuilding self-esteem. She also supports people facing life transitions and those dealing with isolation or loneliness. Her practice includes attention to aging and geriatric issues, chronic illness and disability, and challenges such as panic attacks and social anxiety.
How Sandra works
In sessions she combines practical, evidence-informed methods with reflective conversation. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and psychodynamic ideas to tailor the approach. These tools help people notice unhelpful thoughts, build coping skills, and strengthen what matters to them.
Dr. Moreland aims to be compassionate and nonjudgmental in her work. She takes a collaborative approach, so clients and she set goals together and try strategies that fit each person's life.
Progress is paced to the needs and preferences of the individual. She offers a mix of communication formats to fit different schedules. Sessions can be held by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make it easier to connect from where clients are.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Dr. Moreland uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as core parts of her work. ACT helps people notice what matters to them and take action toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior and practicing new skills to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.She sees choosing the right approach as a team effort. During early sessions she and the client will talk about goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what feels helpful. The decision about which approach to use comes from the client's needs, goals, and preferences rather than one fixed method.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy lives. Video calls let people use visual cues and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a camera won’t fit the moment. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or fit a shorter check-in during a break. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent and flexible around work, caregiving, or health limitations.
