About Sandy
Sandy uses a direct, collaborative style. She helps clients name strengths and set S.M.A.R.T. goals - specific, measurable, action-oriented, realistic, and timely - so progress feels reachable. Sessions include brainstorming, skill building, and short action plans to try between meetings.
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), client-centered methods, and mindfulness practices. That mix supports emotional regulation, changing unhelpful thinking, and increasing present-moment awareness.
Sandy emphasizes small, practical changes like noticing automatic thoughts, practicing emotion regulation skills, and taking manageable steps toward values-based goals. She also supports work around attachment, abandonment, control issues, and forgiveness when these come up.
With four years of counseling experience, Sandy frames therapy as a team effort. She offers messaging support between sessions to keep guidance timely and to help clients stay on track with goals. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Sandy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression by building new skills. ACT helps people clarify their values and take action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present, supporting long-term direction and life purpose.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sandy works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying tools, checking how they feel, and adjusting plans together rather than settling on a single method up front.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how Sandy is meeting with clients. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when schedules are tight. It also supports continued contact between sessions through messaging so people can get timely guidance while they practice skills in daily life.
