Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Existential therapy looks at questions of meaning, values, and choice and helps people facing major life transitions or questions about purpose. In practice this means talking about what matters most and how to act in ways that feel true to you.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while committing to actions that match their values. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with change.
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating. It helps people understand where their expectations and reactions come from so they can make different choices in relationships.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Sandra collaborates with clients to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited, and text or live chat work well for brief check-ins or on-the-go support. These options provide flexibility so clients can use the format that best supports their needs.
