How Sandra’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered work focuses on the person's priorities and strengths. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what matters to the client, and helps people set goals that feel meaningful. This approach supports issues like life changes, grief, and loneliness.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with chronic illness. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what they want to change and boosts the motivation to take small steps forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sandra will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice may shift over time as progress and challenges emerge.
