Sandra DeCarolis is a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings ten years of clinical work to her practice in Colorado. She holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology from CU Denver and a master’s degree in counseling from Regis University. Sandra focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, mood concerns, and issues with self esteem.
She favors an integrative, person-centered style. Sandra builds a trusting therapeutic relationship first. From there she introduces coping skills and strategies that fit each person's life and goals.
Sessions often draw on cognitive behavioral ideas to address unhelpful thinking and patterns. She also uses dialectical-behavioral tools and mindfulness practices to manage intense emotion and improve day-to-day functioning.
Sandra pays attention to life transitions and relationship concerns, and she offers practical help for sleep, eating, career stress, and caregiver strain. Her work includes focus on trauma, grief, addiction, and long-term mood conditions such as bipolar disorder.
Her approach centers on clients' strengths. She helps people notice what already works for them and build on it. Sandra invites people to try new coping skills, reflect on patterns, and set realistic steps toward change.
To begin, she asks questions about current struggles and what a better day looks like. That helps shape goals and the pace of work together.
How these approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and building a respectful relationship. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects concerns, and helps people feel heard as they set goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical exercises to change those patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, and sleeping or eating difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit best for current needs and goals. That means trying strategies, checking how they feel, and adjusting the plan over time.
Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule by eliminating travel time and allowing for appointments during breaks or between commitments. They can also let people use shorter check-ins or choose sessions that do not require video when that is more practical. Licensed professionals adapt exercises like mindfulness practice, behavioral experiments, and skills coaching to work well in remote sessions.
