About Ishanie
Ishanie Sanchez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New Jersey with 15 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Sanchez helps people name difficult feelings and sort through relationship patterns that get in the way of connection. She works with issues such as attachment and abandonment, communication and commitment problems, intimacy-related concerns, and isolation or loneliness. Practical skills for coping with mood disorders, ADHD, and compassion fatigue are also part of her work.
Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That means she pays attention to emotions in the moment, looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence daily life, and helps people identify values to guide decisions. Therapy usually balances talking, emotion-focused exercises, and real-world practice between sessions.
Sanchez also attends to cultural and immigration-related stress, money and career concerns, and the effects of infidelity or control issues on relationships. She aims to help clients improve communication, manage impulsivity, and find clearer direction in their personal and professional lives.

How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and expressing core emotions that shape relationship patterns and personal reactions. In sessions this looks like tracking feelings in the moment and working through them to change typical interaction cycles. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match what matters to them. ACT is useful for stress, anxiety, and decisions about life direction. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection patterns influence current relationships and helps people try new ways of relating and communicating.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals, preferences, and what comes up in early sessions. That plan can change as therapy progresses and new needs appear.
Confirm the current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that working this way still lets them practice emotion-focused exercises and real-life behavioral experiments between meetings while keeping therapy integrated with everyday life.
