More about Sandra
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I work with clients who experience a wide range of symptoms and concerns, that include anxiety, depression, next stage in life, family issues, social anxiety, relationship issues and feelin stuck. I have also worked with many people that have experienced trauma and emotional abuse.
I meet my clients where they're at with hopes in creating a safe and warm place so they can explore all the 'stuff'. My therapy style is warm, interactive and person centered, using a mix of CBT and ACT.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
