About Sandra
Sandra Lynn-Fulcher is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 40 years of practice in California. She brings long experience to helping people manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, and address relationship and intimacy concerns. Sandra speaks plainly and works to create a respectful, sensitive space for each person who reaches out.
She tailors sessions and treatment plans to fit a person’s specific needs and life story. Sandra emphasizes a person-centered stance - she listens first, then works with clients to decide next steps.
Background and approach
That approach guides how she helps people set goals and practice new ways of coping. Sandra has worked across inpatient and outpatient settings and in independent practice. She also taught counseling to students from many cultural and ethnic backgrounds, which shaped her understanding of diverse life experiences.
Her background includes helping people with substance abuse, family transitions, grief, and stress management. She draws on a range of approaches when it helps, including cognitive behavioral ideas and attachment-informed thinking. Sandra aims for a collaborative relationship where the client’s perspective shapes the work.
She believes change starts with small courageous steps and offers steady support through them. People who want practical tools for anxiety or stress, partners facing intimacy challenges, or those navigating life changes may find her direct, compassionate style helpful. Sandra encourages curious, motivated people to reach out and begin a conversation about next steps.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety and stress when someone wants to act differently despite uncomfortable emotions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change patterns that keep problems going. CBT can help with anxiety, addictive patterns, and managing stress by building new skills and habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sandra will explore goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then recommend ways to proceed. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let you work face-to-face when convenient, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, and live chat or messaging can support quick check-ins or practice between sessions. These formats make scheduling more flexible and help people fit therapy into busy lives.
