Background and approach
Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Arts in Counseling from Lincoln Christian College and Seminary. Sandra has worked in a variety of settings, both in person and online, and she has experience leading classes on parenting, anger management, and healthy dating choices. Sessions often focus on clear steps and small goals.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and daily challenges. When needed, Sandra helps clients develop safety and coping plans for post-traumatic stress and recovery from sexual assault and abuse. People say she provides straightforward guidance on issues like self-esteem, guilt and shame, jealousy, and finding life purpose.
She also offers coaching-style support for practical changes and next steps. Services are delivered in English and are offered via video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on skills and steps that people can use between sessions. One common approach Sandra uses helps people learn breathing and grounding techniques, thought-challenging, and behavioral experiments to reduce panic attacks and social anxiety. These exercises aim to lower immediate symptoms and build confidence over time.Another approach emphasizes trauma-informed strategies. This involves pacing conversations, teaching emotion regulation tools, and creating practical safety and coping plans for those recovering from sexual assault, childhood abuse, or post-traumatic stress. The focus is on steady progress and manageable steps rather than reliving events all at once.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Sandra works collaboratively with each person to figure out which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as work progresses so the approach stays helpful and realistic.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for teaching skills and observing reactions. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when a shorter touchpoint fits a busy day.
