How her approaches work in an online setting
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical behavioral changes. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems by breaking issues into clear steps and homework-like practice.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting to help people clarify their goals and values. This approach supports people who need time to process feelings and make decisions at their own pace.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, in brief form, teaches skills for regulating intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can help with anger, relationship conflict, and situations where strong emotional reactions cause repeated problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sandra will discuss goals and preferences and help decide whether CBT, client-centered methods, DBT skills, or a mix fits best. The choice is collaborative and may change as progress is tracked.
