About Sandra
Sandra Sunter is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL LMHC) with 37 years of experience. She focuses on grief and loss, caregiver stress, end-of-life concerns, serious illness, self-esteem and confidence, depression, and coping with life changes. Sandra works with adults who are wondering what comes next after a big change. Sessions aim to help people talk through where they are and what matters now.
Her approach blends several practical therapies. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different ways of responding. Client-Centered and Mindfulness methods change the way people relate to their own experience in small, manageable steps.
Sandra also draws on solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and make immediate, concrete changes. That can be useful when someone feels stuck after work, relationship, or health changes. She helps people break big problems into smaller, testable steps.
Her long experience includes working with grief, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, relationship and family issues, eating and food-related problems, anger, bipolar mood issues, anxiety and stress. Additional focus areas include aging and geriatric issues, cancer and chronic illness, caregiver strain, codependency, communication problems, and guilt or shame.
Sessions are conducted in English and reflect a straightforward, practical style. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking by using the online therapy options and the brief matching questionnaire.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck on them, then choose actions that match what matters most. It can be useful for grief, life changes, and long-term stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change mood and day-to-day functioning. It often helps with depression, anxiety, and patterns that maintain low self-esteem. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflection so people can clarify their own goals and feel understood as they consider next steps.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to try, adjusting based on how goals and preferences evolve. That helps keep sessions practical and focused on the next steps someone wants to take.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing commute time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or avoiding camera use when that helps concentration. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused tasks to remote settings so progress continues alongside daily responsibilities.
