Over her career she has supported people facing trauma, bipolar mood issues, ADHD, and chronic caregiving stress. She also works with concerns like eating or sleeping difficulties, career strain, and life purpose questions. Her aim is practical progress rather than labels.

How evidence-based approaches guide online care
Sandee uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage mood and stress. One common approach she employs focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new ways of thinking and responding. This helps with anxiety, low mood, and self esteem by teaching concrete skills to test new behaviors and reactions.
Another approach centers on practical problem-solving and skill building. That means breaking larger problems into manageable steps, practicing small changes between sessions, and tracking what works. This style supports coping with grief, caregiving stress, work strain, and sleep or eating disruptions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they tailor a plan and adjust methods if something does not fit, aiming for steady, realistic progress.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, offering shorter check-ins when needed, and allowing sessions to occur from different locations. Licensed professionals can use these methods to help clients build daily habits, manage symptoms, and work toward clearer goals without promising a specific outcome.
