About Sandra

Sandra DeCarolis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, life changes, relationship concerns, anger, and related issues. Sandra speaks English and offers therapy within Colorado.

Sandra trained in psychology and counseling, and she uses a blend of approaches rather than one set method. Sessions focus on building a working relationship and drawing on a person’s strengths. She uses practical coping skills alongside conversation about patterns that keep problems going.

Her work often includes cognitive-behavioral methods to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts. She also uses client-centered ideas to keep the conversation grounded in what the person wants to change. Mindfulness and motivational techniques are used when they help someone manage stress or stay engaged in goals.

Sandra has supported people with mood disorders, substance concerns, trauma responses, and grief, and she helps with everyday problems such as sleep, eating, parenting stress, work strain, and anger that shows up at home or work. Her approach emphasizes practical skills for coping and clearer communication.

In sessions she works collaboratively to identify goals and small steps toward them. People can expect straightforward feedback, concrete tools to try between sessions, and regular check-ins about progress. She encourages clients to notice what works and adjust the plan when needed.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Sessions draw on cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people identify and change thought and behavior patterns that feed anger and anxiety. CBT offers concrete exercises and behavioral experiments to try between meetings, which can reduce reactive responses and improve problem solving.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is used for skills training around emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT skills can help someone slow down a rising temper, use grounding techniques, and choose responses that fit their values.

Sandra approaches online work collaboratively. She will discuss your goals and try a few methods to see what fits. Together you decide whether to focus on thought patterns, emotion regulation skills, mindfulness practices, or a mix of approaches based on what helps you reach your goals.

Confirm the available session formats before you book, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins on a phone, video meetings for more in-depth work, or timing sessions around breaks at work. Discuss scheduling preferences and practical needs with Sandra when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions can fit your routine.
