Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Sandra draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to shape online work that meets each client's needs. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a non-directive, empathetic stance from the therapist, helping clients explore feelings and build self-esteem and relational confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical techniques to address anxiety, depression and stress-related patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying strengths and small, achievable steps toward change, which suits people looking for targeted, goal-oriented progress.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Sandra works collaboratively with clients to choose or blend methods based on their goals, preferences and responses as therapy progresses. She adapts the plan alongside the client to ensure the work remains relevant and effective.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and life circumstances. These formats make it easier to attend regular sessions, maintain continuity when travel or commitments arise and access professional support from a distance while working with registered professionals and therapists.
