Approaches Sandra Uses and How Online Therapy Helps



Sandra uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive space where the client’s perspective guides the work - this approach focuses on empathy, active listening and helping people access their own strengths to address relationship or emotional concerns. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and stress. Solution-focused therapy is another tool in her practice and concentrates on practical steps and goals, helping clients build on what is already working in their lives.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sandra works with each person to understand their needs, goals and preferences and adapts methods over time so the therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging let clients schedule support around work, family and other commitments. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals and therapists from different locations, support continuity of care when travel or relocation is a factor, and provide multiple ways to communicate depending on what feels most comfortable for the client.
