Ishanie Sanchez, LPC, LMHC - Therapist in New Jersey

About Ishanie

Ishanie Sanchez is a licensed therapist who uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. She holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential and the Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential. With 15 years of experience in New Jersey, she helps clients talk through trauma, grief, identity questions, and life transitions.

Her approach blends several therapies so sessions stay focused and useful. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and next steps.

Background and approach

Attachment-based work and emotionally focused ideas guide conversations about connection and trust. Sessions are conversational and collaborative. The therapist listens first, then works with each person to set clear goals and practices to use between sessions.

Skills might include emotion regulation, communication strategies, or value-driven actions depending on the concern. Ishanie also addresses concerns such as ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, immigration-related stress, workplace issues, and intimacy or commitment worries. She provides services in English and Spanish and pays attention to cultural context when it matters.

Practical matters are handled through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging under a subscription model. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps align needs and scheduling before arranging sessions.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are hard. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It is commonly used for anxiety, mood challenges, and stress management.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to a persons goals and preferences, explain different methods, and recommend a plan together. Adjustments are made over time based on what works best for the individual.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules and people who prefer remote care. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions provide a simpler option, and live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for brief check-ins and ongoing support. These formats make it easier to practice skills between sessions and maintain continuity of care when life gets busy.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
