01About Sandra
Sandra DeCarolis is a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings ten years of practice to people facing stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, mood concerns, and life transitions. She works in Colorado and speaks English. Sandra aims to build a trusting relationship where clients feel heard and can start making manageable changes in daily life.
She holds a bachelor's in psychology and a master's in counseling, and she blends practical methods to match each person's needs.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize clear goals and small steps that add up over time. Sandra often draws on client-centered listening to understand what matters most to the individual. Her sessions may include cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and create new coping skills.
When emotional regulation is a focus, elements of dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness are used to teach breathing, grounding, and distress-tolerance tools. Motivational interviewing helps clients who want change but feel stuck or uncertain.
Sandra works with people managing trauma, substance use concerns, depression, bipolar mood issues, and grief, as well as those facing relationship strains, parenting stress, body image and caregiving burdens. She also addresses work and career concerns, anger, and compassion fatigue. The approach is collaborative.
Sandra partners with each person to identify strengths and practical strategies. She emphasizes doable skills, steady progress, and adjusting the plan when life changes require it.

04Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening with empathy and helping people identify their own strengths and goals; it is useful when someone needs understanding and a nonjudgmental space to sort things out. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and practice different behaviors and coping strategies to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and manage sleep or eating concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for handling intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress without acting impulsively.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Sandra will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then propose techniques to try. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what is working and what feels manageable for the client.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls approximate face-to-face conversation for skill teaching and deeper work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for brief updates, homework, or steady support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or health-related limits while still working toward measurable changes.
