About Sandra
Sandra Rico is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 16 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She works with adults on anger, grief, addiction, parenting strain, and identity questions. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and she accepts international clients.
Her style is direct and practical. She helps people name what sets off strong feelings and learn ways to respond differently. Meetings focus on building clearer communication, reducing repeated patterns, and managing day-to-day triggers that fuel resentment or outbursts.
Sandra draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work focused on the person’s experience. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Mindfulness practices are offered to help with grounding when emotions escalate.
In therapy she uses Motivational Interviewing to support change when someone feels stuck. Narrative Therapy is used to look at the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships. These approaches are combined into short, practical steps clients can try between sessions.
People who come for help with anger often also bring stress from work, family tensions, sleep problems, or substance concerns. Sandra helps clients sort these linked issues one step at a time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s immediate experience. Online meetings let the therapist listen closely and reflect what is happening so clients feel heard and can practice new responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions this often means identifying common thinking traps and trying short experiments between meetings to see what changes. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple grounding and breathing practices to reduce reactivity; these are practiced in-session and then repeated during the week.Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist and client review goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan as needed. That collaborative process helps match practical methods to the issues that matter most to the client, like handling workplace frustration or reducing arguments at home.
Confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Some formats take less bandwidth and are better for quick consultations, while others are best for in-depth conversation. Discuss format preferences during the initial scheduling step so sessions fit into everyday life.
