Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic environment where the client’s perspective guides the work. It helps people who want a collaborative space to explore feelings, build self-worth, and clarify personal goals. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early connections influence current intimacy, communication, and trust. It can be especially helpful for relationship challenges, attachment issues, and those coping with loss or abandonment. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with their values. ACT is useful for managing anxiety, stress, and life transitions by building psychological flexibility.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Sandi works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time so the treatment evolves with the client’s progress.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access care from home. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver the same core therapeutic work as in-person sessions, adapting methods to suit each client’s communication style and circumstances.
