She speaks English and Spanish and aims to meet people where they are.

How Sandra’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, meaningful actions toward them. It helps people facing life changes, midlife questions, and difficulty making decisions by teaching how to notice thoughts without being ruled by them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and homework to shift unhelpful thinking and develop coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress.
Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas shape how Sandra pays attention to relationship patterns and the therapeutic relationship itself. These approaches help people understand why they repeat certain patterns and practice new ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sandra will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life situation. That choice may change as therapy progresses and different skills are needed.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can help fit therapy into busy schedules by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it easier to attend from a quieter place, work therapy into a lunch break, or continue care during relocations.
