About Sandra

Sandra Graham is a licensed counselor with 25 years of clinical experience who helps people navigate addiction, mood concerns, family challenges, and trauma-related difficulties.

Background and approach

She works from a strengths-based perspective that honors each person as the expert of their own story and emphasizes practical tools for coping with anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship struggles. Sandra’s practice also addresses ADHD among other focus areas, framed alongside work on parenting, anger, and major life transitions.

Her background includes work in residential treatment settings with children and adolescents experiencing co-occurring disorders and neurodevelopmental challenges, as well as outpatient community mental health and home-based counseling. Sandra draws on evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment strategies, attachment-based work, client-centered principles, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness to tailor support to individual needs.

She aims to create a collaborative environment where clients build resilience, clarify goals, and develop skills to manage everyday stressors and longer-term concerns.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that adapt to your life

Sandra uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and learn practical skills to change behaviors and reduce distress, a useful approach for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. She also integrates acceptance and commitment therapy, which focuses on clarifying values, increasing psychological flexibility, and taking committed action even in the presence of difficult thoughts or feelings.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Sandra works with each person to assess goals, preferences, and needs, and then blends techniques from client-centered, attachment-informed, and mindfulness practices as appropriate to create a personalized plan for growth and symptom management.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules or when in-person care is not practical. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care, access regular check-ins, and practice skills between sessions while fitting therapy into everyday life.
