How these approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your priorities. The therapist follows your lead, reflects what she hears, and helps you name strengths and options. This approach is helpful when you want a supportive space to talk through grief, stress, or identity concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Sandra uses simple CBT techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety or lift mood. This is useful for stress, anxiety, and mood-related problems.
Sandra treats choosing an approach as a team effort. She will talk with you about goals, try methods that fit your needs, and change course when something is not helping. The process is collaborative and practical, with regular check-ins about progress.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports continuity of care after a change in location or schedule, while letting you use techniques together with real-life routines.
