Early meetings typically involve clarifying concerns and planning small, doable steps toward change.

She adapts her approach to each person's situation and background.

Remote approaches that emphasize values and relationship
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and goal-focused changes. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person in front of the therapist, using empathic listening and reflection to build understanding and motivation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sandra will collaborate with each person to decide which strategies fit their goals and preferences. She adapts the pace and tools based on what the client wants to try and how they respond over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more practical. Video is helpful when visual connection matters, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and messaging can fit into busy days or provide brief ongoing support. These options make it easier to schedule regular work on stress, ADHD-related routines, grief, or relationship concerns without added travel.
