Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Sandra McAndrew

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, respectful relationship in which the therapist listens deeply and follows the client’s lead. This approach supports self-exploration and is often used when people want to build self-esteem, clarify values, or address relationship and life-direction concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns. It is practical and skill-oriented, and it can be especially helpful for managing anxiety, depression, stress, sleep and eating concerns, and other mood-related challenges.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. It can help people who experience intense emotions, difficulty with relationships, or recurring patterns of conflict by offering concrete tools for coping and communication.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sandra works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility and greater access to care. These formats allow licensed professionals to meet clients where they are, accommodate busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are impractical.
