About Sandra
Sandra Bachman is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) practicing in Ohio. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, work through addiction concerns, and navigate relationship struggles.
Background and approach
Sandra also supports those recovering from trauma and abuse and helps people build self-esteem and self-love. She uses straightforward, compassionate conversation as the starting point.
Sessions tend to center on clear goals and small, practical steps. Sandra listens for what matters most and helps clients map out realistic changes they can try between meetings.
Sandra draws on several evidence-informed approaches to suit different needs. That can include cognitive behavioral techniques for shifting unhelpful thinking, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for building values-driven actions, and elements of the Gottman Method to strengthen communication in relationships.
She may also use eye movement desensitization and reprocessing when processing traumatic memories feels appropriate. Her work often addresses attachment and communication problems, persistent guilt or shame, and questions about life purpose.
Sandra aims to help clients increase resilience, notice patterns that hold them back, and practice new ways of responding to stress. Progress is treated as a sequence of small, steady steps rather than sudden fixes.
Sandra brings three years of clinical experience to her practice in Ohio. People who prefer a collaborative, goal-oriented style with warm support may find her approach useful for moving toward clearer priorities and healthier habits.
Using Evidence-Based Methods in Online Care
Sandra regularly uses the Gottman Method to help couples and partners improve communication and reduce recurring conflict by teaching specific interaction skills. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice what matters most to them and take small actions toward those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another common tool she uses to identify unhelpful thoughts and practice alternative ways of thinking and behaving.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Sandra will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and the kinds of strategies that feel most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy with Sandra is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls are helpful for interactive skill practice and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging allow for brief check-ins, journaling between sessions, or ongoing support without waiting for an appointment. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and keep momentum between sessions.
