About Sandra
Sandra Carrubba is a licensed marriage and family therapist with eight years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps that can ease day-to-day strain.

She helps people who are coping with grief and loss, rebuilding self-esteem, or facing career challenges.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on small, manageable changes that add up over time. Sandra also supports those navigating major life transitions and the uncertainty they bring. Many clients bring concerns like social anxiety, communication problems, attachment issues, or struggles with guilt and shame.
She often addresses caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and questions about life purpose and self-love. Conversations explore patterns that keep people stuck and practical ways to try something different. Sandra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions toward clear goals.
She works collaboratively, asking about what matters most and tailoring each plan to individual needs. Progress is tracked in simple, concrete terms so people can see what’s changing. Sessions are offered in English and available to people in California and internationally.
Sandra supports a range of formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and ongoing text-based messaging to fit different schedules and communication styles.
Evidence-based approaches and online flexibility
Sandra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking and test new, more balanced thoughts to reduce anxiety and worry. Another technique concentrates on building skills for managing strong emotions and improving daily coping so stress feels less overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is seen.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat supports short check-ins between sessions. These formats make therapy more flexible for busy schedules and varied communication styles.
