Background and approach
Sandra has a BA and an MA in Counseling from Lincoln Christian College and Seminary. Her work includes addressing the impact of sexual assault, childhood abuse, and domestic violence, and supporting people through panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety.
Sandra often helps parents handle the strain of raising children and provides coaching around communication problems, jealousy, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and life purpose. She has led parenting and anger management classes and developed a curriculum on dating safety and healthy relationship signals. Sessions are practical and straightforward.
Sandra talks through coping tools, communication skills, and steps to manage behaviors tied to ADHD or anger. She also offers coaching-style support for people seeking clearer goals and next steps in life. Her approach is patient and approachable.
People who prefer a faith-informed perspective will find that faith can be part of sessions when requested, but Sandra centers each person’s choices and pace.
Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options
Sandra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person. One approach focuses on practical coping skills - teaching breathing, grounding, and step-by-step strategies to manage panic, anxiety, and anger. These tools are brief and can be practiced between sessions to reduce intense symptoms.Another common approach emphasizes improving communication and behavior patterns. This involves role-playing conversations, setting clear boundaries, and building routines that help with parenting challenges, relationship problems, and ADHD-related organization. These steps aim to change what people do day to day, not just how they feel.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. Sandra will work with clients to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. She invites input about values, including whether a faith-informed perspective should be included.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit counseling into real life. Video calls allow face-to-face work; phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels like too much. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter coaching-style support, or people who prefer writing. These formats offer flexibility for scheduling, consistent follow-up, and ongoing skill practice outside sessions.
