About Isabel
Isabel Sanchez Cummings is an Ohio Licensed Independent Social Worker with Supervisory designation (LISW). She has 11 years of direct mental health experience and focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She also addresses relationship and family concerns, parenting, trauma and abuse, career stress, and compassion fatigue.
Isabel uses practical conversation and structured tools to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck. She helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, develop coping skills, and make concrete changes. Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented, with a focus on what a person can try between meetings.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered methods, existential ideas, and mindfulness techniques. That mix supports work on mood, anxiety, meaning questions, and everyday distress. Isabel tends to help people clarify values, practice new ways of responding, and build small, manageable routines.
She names specific goals such as improving decision-making, finding resources, and increasing personal acceptance and agency. Isabel also addresses attachment, abandonment, caregiver stress, body image, communication problems, and issues that arise from blended families or divorce.
Isabel works with people across diverse cultures and identities and provides services in both English and Spanish. Her practice emphasizes professional standards and ongoing learning, with referrals made when another resource would better fit a person’s needs.
How Isabel uses evidence-informed approaches online
Isabel combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and client-centered methods to address practical problems. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses to reduce anxiety or low mood. ACT emphasizes clarifying personal values and taking actions that align with those values even when difficult feelings are present. Client-centered methods prioritize listening and reflecting so a person can make decisions that feel right for them.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Isabel will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying behavioral experiments from CBT for a time, then shifting to values-based actions from ACT, or using reflective conversation when someone needs to clarify choices.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people work from quieter surroundings. Licensed professionals can use these practical benefits to help clients maintain consistency and practice new skills between meetings.
