Approaches that guide online sessions
Sandra draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people move forward. One approach focuses on setting clear goals and breaking them into small, doable steps to tackle problems like career transitions or parenting strain. Another approach emphasizes examining patterns from family of origin and blended family situations to change unhelpful reactions and build different habits.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sandra works with each person to weigh their needs, goals, and preferences and then adjusts methods over time. The therapist and client check in about what is working and change course when needed.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also help when clients prefer not to be on camera or need less bandwidth for a session. Ask about available formats when you schedule to find what fits your routine best.
