About Sandra

Sandra Bachman is an LISW with three years of clinical experience based in Ohio. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, address addictions, and work through relationship problems. She also supports those affected by trauma and abuse and people wanting to build self-esteem and self-love.

Her approach emphasizes practical skills and clear steps. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered techniques to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Sessions focus on what to do between meetings as much as what happens in them.

Sandra pays attention to communication patterns and attachment issues that keep problems repeating. She offers concrete tools for setting boundaries, improving conversations, and reducing guilt and shame. Homework might include brief exercises to practice during the week.

For relationship concerns she draws on principles from the Gottman Method to address interaction patterns and rebuild connection. For trauma-related distress she uses EMDR alongside other approaches when appropriate to process difficult memories and reduce their hold on day-to-day life.

Her style is direct and practical. She helps people define clear goals, track small changes, and decide which strategies to keep. People who want straightforward, skills-based work tend to find this approach useful.

How Sandra’s approaches translate to online work

Many of Sandra’s methods focus on noticing thoughts, testing unhelpful beliefs, and trying new behaviors. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying patterns of thinking that increase distress and practicing alternative responses to change mood and behavior. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches values-based action and skills to accept difficult feelings while moving toward meaningful goals. Client-Centered Therapy provides a conversational, respectful stance that helps people describe their experience and choose steps forward.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. Sandra will review a person’s goals and preferences and suggest a few approaches to try. Together they decide what to focus on and adjust the plan based on what works in real life.

The practical advantages of online sessions include fitting meetings around work and family time, cutting travel, and using short check-ins when a full session is difficult. The profile does not specify exact session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work still emphasizes homework and real-world practice so skills carry over between meetings.
