How Sandi’s approaches translate to online work
Sandi uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and focus on actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and when life changes make decisions feel overwhelming.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions. This approach can help with intimacy struggles, codependency, and communication problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose techniques that fit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That conversation happens early on and can change as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into busy days. It can allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time, and make it simpler to maintain continuity of care during life transitions. Licensed professionals often adapt tools from ACT and attachment work for remote sessions to keep therapy practical and focused.
