01About Sacra
Sacra Durandisse brings a practical, strengths-focused approach to therapy. She holds an MD and is licensed as an LCPC and LMHC, and she draws on 27 years of professional experience to help people navigate hard moments. She speaks English and works with clients in Maryland and beyond, including international clients.
Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. She focuses on everyday problems like stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, and recovering from trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
She also supports people working on self-esteem, motivation, and confidence. In sessions she treats concerns plainly and directly so clients can try new ways of coping right away. Sacra centers the client as the expert in their own life.
She listens for strengths and practical resources the person already has. Then she and the client pick small, achievable steps to reduce distress and build better routines. Her background includes long clinical experience across community and outpatient settings.
That experience informs how she tailors talk and tools to each person’s needs. She aims to make sessions useful even between meetings so progress continues outside the appointment time. People who reach out can expect straightforward conversation, goal-focused planning, and regular checks on what’s helping.
The emphasis is on steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.

Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life
Many therapists use evidence-based techniques to address anxiety and trauma. One common approach focuses on skills for managing worry and stress through step-by-step breathing, thought tracking, and behavior changes. This helps when anxiety interferes with daily routines or sleep.Another helpful method concentrates on processing traumatic memories and building safety in daily life. It uses gradual exposure and coping skills to reduce the way trauma memories trigger strong reactions. This approach is often used for post-traumatic stress and recovery from abuse.
Choosing the right approach happens together. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that match your needs. If a technique isn’t working, it can be adjusted or replaced so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls let you talk face to face when visual cues help. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging provide quick check-ins, short emotional support, or notes between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, a parenting schedule, or travel, while keeping continuity of care with licensed professionals.
