Background and approach
Saundra uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. She helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors that reduce worry and lift mood. That approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.
People also come to her for grief, anger, intimacy-related concerns, career stress, and issues related to LGBT identity. She works with clients challenged by compassion fatigue and bipolar mood concerns, always focusing on practical ways to manage symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. Sessions are aimed at clear, manageable steps.
Saundra encourages small experiments that fit into a busy life and checks in on what worked. Her goal is to help people feel more capable and make changes they can keep up over time.
How CBT and remote sessions can help with anxiety
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, test them, and try new behaviors that reduce worry and improve mood. This approach works well for anxiety, depression, sleep trouble, and managing stress.Sessions are collaborative. The therapist will help figure out which techniques fit best for a person's goals and life. Together they will choose exercises, homework, and pacing so the work feels manageable and relevant to day-to-day challenges.
Online therapy offers different ways to connect. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people send short updates, ask questions between meetings, or keep regular momentum without a full session. These options make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule and to try therapeutic steps in real time.
