About Sandra
Sandra DeCarolis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with ten years of clinical experience. She guides people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, grief, mood concerns, and addiction. Sandra uses a straightforward, respectful style and focuses on building trust from the first session.
She trained in counseling and holds graduate-level clinical preparation. Sandra draws on approaches that fit each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions aim to identify strengths and practical skills the client can use between meetings.
Background and approach
Sandra commonly helps people cope with life changes, relationship and intimacy-related challenges, sleep or eating concerns, and caregiver stress. She also supports those facing chronic illness, cancer-related issues, or complicated grief. Her work includes attention to attachment and abandonment themes when relevant.
In session she mixes client-centered listening with skill-based strategies. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools are used to spot harmful thought patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness practices help with emotional regulation and staying grounded in the moment.
Therapy sessions are intended to be collaborative. Sandra helps clients set short-term goals and then tries techniques that match each person’s needs. She emphasizes small, achievable steps so progress feels real and manageable.

How Sandra Tailors Approaches for Online Care
Sandra commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy as part of her online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep or eating concerns. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills, which can help when strong emotions or relationship stress are present.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sandra will talk with the client about goals and what feels most useful, then try techniques that fit those needs. She adapts tools over time based on what is helping and what needs adjustment.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to touch base between sessions or fit support into a busy day. These options help people keep continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
