About Sandra
Sandra DeCarolis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with ten years of clinical experience. She brings a calm, direct manner and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Sandra helps with common struggles like stress, anxiety, grief, mood disorders, and addiction-related concerns, and she pays attention to how life changes affect day-to-day functioning.
She trained in psychology and counseling and draws on several ways of working rather than a single method. Sessions emphasize building trust, noticing strengths, and learning new coping skills. Conversations are collaborative and tailored to what each person finds most useful.
Sandra often uses client-centered listening alongside cognitive behavioral strategies to spot thinking patterns that get in the way. She also uses techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to support emotion regulation and present-moment focus. Motivational interviewing is part of her approach when people want help making behavior changes.
In the room she offers straightforward guidance, practical tools, and a steady presence. Work might include learning skills to manage anxiety, setting small goals for recovery from addiction, or practicing communication strategies for better relationships. Progress is paced to each person's needs.
Her background includes counseling adults across a wide age range and helping with issues such as parenting stress, caregiving strain, body image, chronic illness, and the impact of trauma. People who want concrete strategies and steady support may find her approach helpful.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience without judgment. It helps people feel heard and supported while deciding what changes matter most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build more helpful habits, which can ease anxiety, depression, and mood symptoms.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It teaches techniques for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked before. Together they will try methods that match the person's needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking. This will make sure the practical details fit your life. Many people find remote sessions helpful for fitting therapy into busy days, having shorter check-ins when needed, or avoiding travel time. Online work can support learning skills, practicing strategies between sessions, and keeping momentum toward goals.
