About Sandra

Sandra Bono is a licensed clinical social worker with 45 years of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, anger, and depression. She integrates a relaxed, client-centered presence with practical strategies to bolster self-esteem, motivation, and confidence, shaping conversations to meet each person's priorities.

Background and approach

Sandra is also experienced addressing concerns related to LGBT identity, ADHD, first responder stress, and multicultural issues while working collaboratively to set achievable goals. Her style emphasizes partnership and personalization rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.

Sessions focus on clear, compassionate dialogue that honors where someone is starting from and moves at a pace that feels manageable. Sandra relies on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered methods to support emotional processing and to build skills for everyday challenges.

Located in New York, she offers several remote session formats and accommodates different communication preferences while tailoring plans to individual needs and circumstances.

How Sandra’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed actions toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. This approach is often used for anxiety, stress, and depression by teaching skills to stay engaged in meaningful activity despite internal struggles. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist listens closely and mirrors the client's perspective to support self-discovery and empowerment. That style supports building confidence, motivation, and emotional insight.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sandra works with clients to explore which methods feel most helpful based on individual goals, preferences, and challenges, and she adjusts techniques over time as needs evolve. The goal is to create a treatment plan together rather than imposing a fixed method.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible and accessible. These options allow scheduling that fits different routines and communication styles, and they enable ongoing work between in-person commitments or during life transitions. Licensed professionals can use these formats to maintain continuity of care while tailoring session length and frequency to each client’s needs.
