About Sandra
Sandra Quaife is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people through big life changes. She speaks plainly and aims to build a practical connection that feels useful from the first meeting. Her style tends to suit people who did not find help in more conventional settings and who want straightforward, down-to-earth support.
With thirty years of experience, Sandra brings a calm, seasoned presence to sessions. She has worked with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family concerns, and questions about career and purpose.
How Sandra works
She also addresses issues like codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, mood and personality disorders, and post-traumatic stress. Her work draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques including cognitive approaches, skills from dialectical behavior methods, developmental psychology, and recovery perspectives. In practice this means talking through thinking patterns, building coping skills, and mapping changes across life stages.
Sessions are focused on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than jargon. Sandra often helps young adults navigating the move into independent life and people rebuilding their identity after major losses or career shifts. She also supports those exploring non-monogamous relationship dynamics and people coping with social anxiety or low self-esteem.
Her decades of practice mean she has many tools to match different needs. She provides services in Indiana and offers therapy in English. Sandra aims to help clients find direction, steady emotions, and better communication skills through steady, collaborative work.

Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options
Many of her sessions use cognitive therapy techniques which focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and learning new ways to respond. This approach is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and improving decision-making.She also draws on dialectical behavior methods to teach concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills help when stress or strong emotions get in the way of daily life and relationships.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful. Phone calls require less bandwidth and work well for a quieter check-in. Messaging and live chat offer shorter, flexible ways to keep momentum between sessions and to fit therapy into a busy day.
