About Sandra
Sandra Sunter is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 37 years of experience. She helps people handle grief, loss, caregiver stress, end-of-life concerns, motivation, self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Sandra works with adults who are looking for practical ways to manage strong emotions such as anger and frustration.
Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. She uses methods that encourage clients to notice thoughts and feelings without being pushed into jargon. Sessions aim to identify what gets in the way of daily life and to build simple, repeatable skills for coping.
Sandra often blends acceptance-based work with cognitive-behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. This can include noticing thoughts, testing out new behaviors, and practicing short grounding exercises between sessions. She also uses solution-focused methods to help set small, achievable goals and track progress over time.
In sessions she prioritizes clear communication and practical problem solving. Conversations cover triggers, patterns, and concrete steps to reduce tension in relationships or at work. Sandra also addresses related concerns like anxiety, eating issues, substance misuse, and feelings of guilt or shame.
Her long experience includes supporting people facing chronic illness, caregiving burdens, bereavement, and major life transitions. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so they can discuss goals and plan next steps.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It is useful when anger or avoidance get in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and testing thoughts that lead to strong emotions and then practicing alternative responses. It often helps with anger, depression, and anxiety by changing thinking and behavior.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. That discussion guides which methods are used and how they are combined to address issues like anger, grief, or caregiver stress.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as formats are not specified here. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, cut down travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can also support practicing skills between sessions and reviewing progress with concrete steps that fit everyday life.
