Online support
Therapeutic approaches that translate well online
Sandi commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose values-based actions, which can reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect trust and closeness now, helping people change how they relate to others.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist and client work together to pick methods that match the client's goals and daily reality. That collaborative process may mix strategies so sessions fit what the person needs in the moment.
Online sessions can be held by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let the therapist and client use visual cues for emotion work and role-play. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style guidance, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities while keeping consistent contact with a licensed professional.
