    About Sandra

    Sandra Bachman is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) practicing in Ohio. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and addictions. Sandra also supports those working through trauma, low self-esteem, and questions about life purpose. Her style is compassionate and straightforward, aimed at helping people feel steadier week to week.

    Sandra uses several evidence-based approaches to fit each person’s needs. She draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find internal reasons to change. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered conversation to clarify values and build self-compassion. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR are part of her toolkit when they match a client’s goals.

    In sessions she prioritizes clear, practical steps. People can expect to talk about recent struggles, set small goals, and practice new ways of handling stress and relationship patterns. Sandra pays attention to attachment and communication issues that often underlie recurring problems. She also works with feelings of guilt, shame, and stuckness as part of the work.

    Sandra has three years of clinical experience and holds an Ohio LISW credential. Her background includes focused work with trauma and abuse recovery as well as relationship concerns. She aims to help people build resilience and greater self-love over time.

  2. How Sandra Uses Motivational Interviewing and ACT Online

    Motivational Interviewing helps people uncover their own reasons for change. It involves open conversation, gentle questions, and building on the client’s own motivation to make different choices. This method can be helpful for addressing addictions, low motivation, and stages of ambivalence around change.

    Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them. Sessions often include exercises to notice thoughts without getting stuck and to try new behaviors that align with what matters. This can help when stress, anxiety, or life purpose questions are getting in the way of daily life.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sandra will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation guides whether motivational interviewing, ACT, CBT, EMDR, or client-centered conversation is emphasized.

    The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Online work can make it simpler to check in during a break, avoid travel time, or choose a quieter time of day. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online and in-person options before booking to make sure they fit your routine.
