About Sacra

Sacra Durandisse is a licensed counselor with 27 years of experience helping people build confidence and manage stress and anxiety. She offers steady support for those struggling with addictions, trauma and abuse, and motivation. Her style centers on recognizing each person’s strengths and working from there. She believes clients are the experts on their own stories. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings. Sacra emphasizes small, achievable changes that add up over time. Her work often addresses self-esteem and self-love concerns alongside mood and post-traumatic symptoms. She also helps with life transitions such as divorce and separation, workplace pressure, and money-related stress. Communication problems, control issues, guilt, and forgiveness are other common topics she helps people talk through. Sacra holds counseling licenses as an LCPC and an LMHC and is based in Maryland. Over nearly three decades she has guided many people toward clearer goals and better coping strategies. Her approach is encouraging and grounded in practical problem solving. She supports English-speaking clients and accepts international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

Evidence-based techniques and online support

Many of Sacra’s methods focus on practical, evidence-based techniques that help people change unhelpful patterns and build self-esteem. One common approach uses structured skills practice to reduce anxiety and improve coping; this involves learning concrete tools to manage worry, grounding, and emotional regulation. Another approach centers on processing traumatic experiences in a paced way so their impact on daily life decreases and confidence can grow. These methods are aimed at stress, mood concerns, addictions, and post-traumatic reactions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to identify goals and test what helps most. Together they adjust techniques and pacing so the work fits the client’s needs and preferences rather than following a fixed plan.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session options the therapist currently offers before booking. Many people find remote work helps fit counseling into busy schedules, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and makes it easier to maintain continuity during life transitions. Talk with the therapist about timing, session length, and any practical needs so appointments can be arranged to suit everyday life.
