About Sandra
Sandra Bachman is an LISW with three years of clinical experience based in Ohio. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem. Her practice also addresses attachment issues, communication problems, guilt and shame, life purpose, post-traumatic stress, and self-love.
Sandra focuses on clear, practical conversation. She listens for what matters most and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions often include learning simple skills for handling hard moments and trying small changes between meetings.
She draws on several approaches to match each person's needs, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and EMDR among others. That range lets her shift between talking work, skill practice, and trauma-focused methods when appropriate.
Sandra pays attention to how relationships and past experiences shape daily feelings of guilt or shame. She helps people separate what they did from who they are now and work toward kinder self-talk and more effective communication with others.
Her style is straightforward and focused on practical steps. People leave sessions with things to try in real life - new phrases to use in hard talks, breathing or grounding techniques for stress, and ways to reframe critical self-judgment. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online matching process.
How her approaches translate to online work
Sandra commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and EMDR. ACT helps people notice painful thoughts without fighting them and clarifies personal values to guide change. CBT focuses on identifying thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and shame. EMDR is used for trauma processing and can help reduce the intensity of distress linked to past events.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sandra will discuss what feels most useful based on a person's goals, history, and what they prefer. That conversation can include trying one method for a few sessions and then adjusting as needed so the work fits practical needs.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful for fitting therapy into busy schedules, using shorter check-ins during work breaks, or avoiding travel time. Online work makes it easier to keep momentum between sessions with homework, brief skill practice, and consistent weekly appointments when that suits the client.
