About Ishanie
Ishanie Sanchez is a licensed professional counselor who offers practical, hands-on support for people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life changes. She brings 15 years of experience working with stress, relationship struggles, grief, identity concerns, and mood-related challenges. Ishanie speaks English and Spanish and practices in New Jersey as an LPC and a licensed mental health counselor.
Her approach centers on collaboration. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and on small, actionable steps.
Background and approach
She uses clear strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral ideas and acceptance-based work to help people manage difficult thoughts and emotions. Ishanie also draws on attachment-based perspectives to examine how early relationships shape current patterns. That helps people who struggle with abandonment, commitment issues, or chronic loneliness notice repeating dynamics and try different responses.
When problems involve intense emotions or impulsivity, she incorporates techniques from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and stress-tolerance skills. Clients leave sessions with practical tools they can try between meetings. Many clients seek help for career stress, intimacy concerns, ADHD-related challenges, or the fallout from infidelity and control issues.
Ishanie frames these concerns in everyday terms and focuses on improving communication, boundaries, and life direction. Her work is intended for adults seeking individual support. New clients start by sharing their immediate goals so the first sessions can focus on quick, useful changes.
Therapeutic approaches for online sessions that focus on action
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It’s useful for anxiety, stress, and making changes when life feels stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people practice new ways of relating to reduce isolation and insecurity.She combines these methods with client-centered listening to keep sessions grounded in each person’s goals. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client review what’s helping and try different techniques together until they find a good fit based on needs, preferences, and goals.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper dialogue, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth or camera time is limited, live chat works for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing coaching-style contact between meetings. These options help people stay consistent with sessions while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
