About Sandra
She blends methods that fit the problem at hand rather than using a single technique for everyone. Sandra draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to help change unhelpful thinking. She uses attachment-informed work to look at how early patterns shape current relationships. She also brings acceptance-oriented tools to help people live with difficult feelings while moving toward their values.
Her training includes a Master of Science degree in Counseling and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology. Sandra holds LMFT licensure in Florida and Tennessee. Over a decade she has worked with people from varied cultural backgrounds and life situations, which informs a practical, down-to-earth style.
In sessions she focuses on clear goals and simple practices people can try between meetings. She addresses concerns such as intimacy, grief, addictions, caregiver stress, chronic illness, parenting pressures, and career change. The aim is to make therapy useful during real-life challenges.
People interested in starting will find a collaborative tone and a focus on understandable steps. Sandra asks about what matters to each person and then helps build skills and small changes that fit daily life.

How Sandra’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on actions that match what matters most, so people can move toward values even when emotions are hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into concrete steps.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Sandra will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. She uses that conversation to recommend approaches and adjusts the plan as progress is made, so therapy stays collaborative and relevant to day-to-day needs.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand. It can also let people continue work on skills between meetings and use tools like guided exercises and thought records during the week. Talk with Sandra about what will work best for your routine and goals before arranging sessions.
