Sandra DeCarolis, LPC

Sandra DeCarolis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and major life changes. Sandra emphasizes building trust so people feel safe to talk and to try new ways of handling problems.

She works with adults across a wide age range and brings an integrative style to sessions. Sandra draws on client-centered methods to follow each person’s goals, and she combines that with cognitive-behavioral tools when patterns of thinking and behavior need shifting. Dialectical skills and mindfulness practices are used when emotion regulation and present-moment awareness are helpful.

Sandra often helps people manage relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, caregiver stress, and challenges that come with chronic illness or aging. She also supports people coping with trauma, substance use, mood disorders, and issues like body image and self-esteem. Her approach prioritizes the client’s strengths and daily coping skills.

In sessions she introduces concrete strategies to handle symptoms and everyday stressors. She partners with clients to set realistic goals and practices skills between meetings. Sandra prefers straightforward language and short-term tools alongside deeper work when needed.

If someone is ready to begin, the next step is to complete the intake process and schedule a session. Sandra works collaboratively to tailor the plan to each person’s life and goals.

How Sandra Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the person. The therapist reflects concerns, helps set goals, and builds a trusting working relationship that guides the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides practical skills for handling strong emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress in difficult moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sandra will work with each client to choose methods that match their needs and preferences. She discusses goals, tries different techniques, and adjusts the plan based on what helps most, keeping the work collaborative and goal-oriented.
