Therapeutic approaches and online care

Sandra draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. ACT helps people clarify their values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult feelings - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in early relationships and helps strengthen current interpersonal connections and emotional regulation, which is especially relevant for relationship, attachment, and intimacy concerns. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client’s perspective, offering empathetic support and collaboration to build self-awareness and confidence across many struggles including self-esteem and coping with change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sandra works collaboratively with people and with other licensed professionals when appropriate to determine which methods best match an individual’s goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing sessions to fit into varied schedules and life demands. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care during transitions, manage stressors in real time, and access consistent support from qualified therapists without travel barriers.
