About Sandra
Sandra Treston is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 15 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, anger, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue.
Sandra uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Sessions focus on naming difficult emotions, spotting unhelpful patterns, and testing small changes in how people relate to themselves and others. She offers practical skills and coaching as part of regular talk work.
Her style centers on listening without judgment and helping clients find strengths they already have. She helps people build clearer communication, manage intense feelings, and reduce behavior that causes harm or shame. Treatment also addresses body image, codependency, commitment and communication problems, drug and alcohol addiction, and issues around infidelity or forgiveness.
Sandra has worked in multiple settings over her career and supports adults coping with life changes, mood and personality disorders, isolation, and questions about life purpose. She encourages short-term skill building as well as deeper emotional work depending on what someone needs.
Sessions are conducted in English from Florida. Practical next steps are available through the site's matching process and scheduling tools for a first session.
How Sandra applies therapeutic approaches in online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice core emotions and change how they respond in close relationships. It is useful for patterns that feel stuck and for learning new ways to connect and express needs.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It helps with anxiety, depression, and motivation by teaching practical skills for living in line with what matters.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes nonjudgmental listening and supporting the client's own choices. This approach is useful when someone needs a steady, respectful space to sort out feelings and decisions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sandra will work with each person to decide whether EFT, ACT, CBT, or another method best fits their goals and preferences. That choice can shift over time as needs change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and choose a setup that suits concentration and bandwidth. Therapists can adapt exercises, emotional check-ins, and skills practice to work well in a remote setting, and they will discuss what format suits the client's schedule and goals during intake.
