About Sandra

Sandra Bono is a licensed clinical social worker in New York with decades of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, anger, and low self-esteem. She offers calm, down-to-earth support and aims to make the first steps toward help feel easier and more manageable. Her style is relaxed and collaborative.

She works side-by-side with each person to figure out what feels most useful. Sessions focus on clear, practical conversation and plans tailored to the individual’s needs and goals.

Background and approach

Sandra draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to build understanding and a respectful space where people can talk openly. These approaches guide how she helps people manage mood, motivation, and life changes.

Her practice also attends to issues that come up for LGBT people, those dealing with attention differences such as ADHD, and multicultural concerns. She has long experience addressing first responder stress and the ways work pressure can affect well-being. Over a long career she has seen many kinds of life challenges and keeps the focus on practical next steps.

Conversations aim to increase confidence, ease painful feelings, and strengthen coping skills. Sandra adjusts the plan as needs change, working at a pace that feels right for each person.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, used here, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, motivation, and coping with difficult emotions by focusing on meaningful steps rather than trying to eliminate every uncomfortable thought.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist listens with empathy and follows the person’s lead, helping them speak through concerns and find their own solutions. This approach is useful for building confidence, working through grief, and strengthening self-understanding.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. They collaborate to try methods that match the situation and adjust the plan as needed.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful when face-to-face interaction matters, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat or text works for shorter check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity when in-person visits are difficult.
