Sandra Bono, LCSW

Sandra Bono is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 45 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and concerns related to LGBT identity and ADHD. Sandra also brings experience with first responder issues and multicultural concerns.

Sandra favors a straightforward, client-centered way of working. Sessions focus on listening first, then building practical steps that fit day-to-day life. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and choose actions that match their values.

Her style is described as laid back and collaborative. She aims to make conversations easy to follow and to help clients create small, manageable changes. That can mean learning how to notice rising anger earlier, practicing different responses, or shifting routines that feed anxiety and low motivation.

Sandra has long experience across a variety of situations and stressors. She draws on simple, concrete tools rather than jargon. Work can involve talking through recent problems, trying new behavioral experiments, and setting short-term goals to measure progress.

People who contact her are often looking for practical ways to handle irritability, resentment, or repeated conflict. She asks questions, listens to what matters most, and helps develop steps that fit the client’s life and goals.
