Sandra Rico, LMHC

Sandra Rico is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 16 years of experience. She focuses on helping people navigate relationship difficulties, identity questions, addiction concerns, mood disorders, and other life changes. Sandra offers therapy in English and Spanish and works with people from a variety of backgrounds.

Her style is warm and direct. She creates a calm space for people to talk through hard moments and to set small, realistic goals. Sessions often concentrate on improving communication, managing strong emotions, and building day-to-day routines that support recovery and stability.

Sandra draws on several clinical approaches to shape sessions, including client-centered methods that follow the person's priorities, cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking, and mindfulness practices to steady attention. She also uses motivational interviewing to support change and narrative ideas to help people reframe their life stories.

People reach out to Sandra for many concerns: anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, ADHD, grief, eating and sleeping problems, and parenting or caregiving stress. She also helps with relationship issues, intimacy concerns, and questions many LGBTQ people bring to therapy.

To begin, a person chooses the Start Therapy button and completes a short matching questionnaire. Sessions use a cancellable subscription model and are scheduled according to therapist availability. If you need help confirming session arrangements, check the booking steps before you schedule.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's goals and priorities. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, which helps with relationship and identity questions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills for changing them, useful for anxiety, depression, and mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sandra will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That means trying things, checking in about what helps, and adapting strategies as progress is made.

Session logistics should fit daily life. Because specific session formats are not listed here, confirm the available options when booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, let people work therapy into a busy week, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also reduce travel time and make it simpler to connect with a therapist who speaks English or Spanish. Licensed professionals tailor sessions to each person's needs so therapy can be practical and usable in everyday routines.
