Approaches that shape online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. The therapist reflects what matters to you and helps you set your own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and tests small changes to shift patterns that keep symptoms going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating stress.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Sandra will work with clients to decide which approaches fit current needs and goals. That planning is collaborative and can change as progress is made or new issues arise.

If you are considering online work, please confirm the available session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life - for example by removing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in on a break, or offering an option when camera use is difficult. Many people find online sessions convenient for keeping therapy consistent during life transitions. Licensed professionals tailor session structure so it fits your schedule and goals.
