How Sandra’s approaches work online

Sandra uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as core tools in online work. CBT helps by identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors that reduce anxiety or depression. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that move a person toward a meaningful life.

She also incorporates Attachment-Based ideas to examine how relationship patterns affect emotion and behavior. In sessions, this can mean looking at how past connections influence current trust, closeness, or conflict and practicing new ways of relating that feel safer and more effective.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Sandra will talk with a person about goals, try strategies in session, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That collaborative process means methods are tailored rather than fixed from the start.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversation and exercises that need visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a short break or work around bandwidth limits. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, skill practice, or when written reflection feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep continuity and work steadily toward goals.
