Background and approach

Sandra emphasizes collaboration and helps clients set the pace and goals for therapy. Sessions focus on the client’s strengths and on small, concrete steps toward change. Sandra draws from a few evidence-based ways of working to match what a client needs.

She uses client-centered ideas to listen and shape sessions around each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify thoughts and habits that keep problems going and try new ways of responding. She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, for managing strong emotions and improving relationships, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set achievable short-term goals.

In sessions she combines these methods to create a practical plan that fits each person’s life. Sandra understands that starting therapy takes courage and that change can be gradual. Her approach is steady and adaptable, aimed at helping people discover and grow their coping skills to meet everyday challenges.

Therapeutic approaches and what online sessions can offer

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and shaping sessions around a person’s goals; it helps when someone needs empathetic support and space to make sense of their feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems in place and teaches practical tools to change those patterns. These methods are often used together to address stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and everyday functioning.

Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. Goals are set together and adjusted over time so the work stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy makes these approaches easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls let people meet face to face from home, phone sessions offer a flexible option, and live chat or text messaging can support shorter check-ins or practice between sessions. These formats provide access and convenience while keeping the focus on usable skills and steady progress.

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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
