About Sandra
Sandra Romero is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) who offers a warm, collaborative approach to therapy. She aims to create a space where people feel heard and respected as they work toward healing and growth. Sandra speaks both English and Spanish and brings a bicultural perspective to her work.
She spends much of her time helping adults process trauma and recover from experiences such as domestic violence. Sandra also supports people managing anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress.
Background and approach
She helps clients rebuild emotional resilience and establish healthier ways of relating to others. Sandra often addresses family-related concerns, including caregiver stress, family of origin issues, and attachment difficulties. She also works with people navigating life transitions, midlife questions, workplace stress, immigration-related challenges, and issues around forgiveness and life purpose.
Her practice draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, mindfulness, somatic work, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills. She uses neuroscience-informed ideas to explain how stress and trauma affect the brain and body, and to guide practical skill building.
Sessions focus on identifying concrete goals, learning coping tools, and pacing progress to fit each person’s needs. Sandra offers faith-sensitive counseling for those who want to integrate Christian beliefs with therapy. She encourages people to take the first step toward change and to reach out when they are ready.
Evidence-based approaches for healing and family stress
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward them while learning to notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them. This approach is often useful for stress, life transitions, and building long-term motivation.Cognitive Processing Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful beliefs that keep trauma symptoms active. It helps people make sense of traumatic events and develop alternative, more balanced perspectives about themselves and safety.
Mindfulness and somatic techniques teach simple body- and breath-focused practices to reduce reactivity and build a steadier sense of calm. These tools are often paired with skills training to manage strong emotions and improve day-to-day functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sandra will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She adjusts strategies over time so the plan fits what is actually helping.
If you want to pursue online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people access bilingual care and faith-sensitive support without changing location. Licensed professionals can tailor session length and focus to make remote work practical and effective.
