About Sandra

Sandra DeCarolis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado. She has a master’s degree in counseling from Regis University and about ten years of clinical experience. Sandra works with people facing depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, addictions, and a wide range of life stressors. She uses straightforward language and aims to make therapy feel approachable and doable.

Sandra takes an integrative, person-centered approach. She leans on the client’s strengths and builds a trusting relationship first. Sessions focus on practical skills, coping strategies, and clear steps clients can try between meetings. She adapts methods as needs change rather than following a single fixed plan.

Her background includes training in several therapeutic methods that support mood and behavior change. Sandra mixes cognitive behavioral ideas for managing thoughts and habits with mindfulness and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when emotional regulation is needed. Motivational interviewing helps when making changes around substance use or other behaviors.

Clients often bring concerns such as relationship strain, parenting stress, sleep and eating problems, chronic illness, caregiving burden, or work and career issues. Sandra also addresses complicated grief, bipolar mood concerns, and the fallout of trauma and abuse. She explains options clearly and helps people break down goals into small, manageable steps.

Therapy is collaborative and paced to the person. Sandra encourages questions and works with each client to find approaches that fit their life. She invites people to try a first session to see how the relationship and methods feel.

How Sandra’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and focuses on creating a respectful, collaborative relationship. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects back what she hears, and helps people set goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches tools to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and habit change. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers specific skills for managing intense emotions and improving how someone copes and communicates. It can be useful when emotions feel overwhelming or relationships are strained.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sandra will talk with each person about their concerns, goals, and preferences. Together they decide which techniques to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made. This collaborative process helps match methods to what the person actually needs.

Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life by reducing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks from work or caregiving. It can also let someone choose a shorter check-in when schedules are tight or use audio-only contact when bandwidth is limited. These practical benefits often help people keep therapy consistent while working toward their goals.
