How Sandra’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take action toward those values. It includes learning to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and choosing actions that fit your values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It can help with panic, social anxiety, SAD, and mood symptoms by breaking problems into manageable steps and practicing new responses. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships that repeat over time. It helps people understand their connection styles, improve communication, and build healthier ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sandra treats the choice of method as collaborative and will help decide what fits best based on your goals and preferences. She often blends techniques so sessions match what feels most useful for each person.
Online therapy offers different ways to connect. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or you need a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let you share brief updates, ask questions between sessions, or use writing when that feels easier. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit around work, family, and daily life.
