About Isabel
Isabel Sanchez Cummings is an Ohio Licensed Independent Social Worker with Supervisory Designation (LISW-S) and over 11 years of direct mental health experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting concerns, relationship and family issues, and the strain of caregiving. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and are aimed at adults seeking practical help for life at home.
Isabel uses clear, straightforward conversation to help people identify patterns that keep them stuck. She helps clients develop coping skills, make decisions, and access internal and external resources. Work often centers on improving day-to-day emotional well-being and managing transitions.
Her approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Mindfulness. That mix supports both short-term problem solving and deeper reflection about values and purpose. Isabel emphasizes practical steps alongside reflective work.
She names autonomy, competence, effectiveness, integrity, and respect for diversity as the guiding values of her practice. Isabel says she works with individuals across different cultural and religious backgrounds and with people who identify as LGBTQIA. She notes particular experience supporting parents and caregivers, including those caring for people with special needs.
Before a first session she asks people to consider goals such as self-acceptance, decision-making, or building coping skills. Prospective clients are guided through a short matching questionnaire and scheduling process to set up an initial appointment.
How sessions work
How Isabel’s approaches translate to online work
Isabel draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed actions toward them, which can help with decisions, parenting choices, and life transitions. CBT looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches concrete strategies for reducing anxiety, improving mood, and managing stress.She also uses client-centered and mindfulness tools to support present-moment awareness and to help people notice automatic reactions at home. Choosing which methods to prioritize is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will review goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adapt the mix of techniques over time.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit a short check-in into a work break, avoid travel time, or use sessions when arranging childcare is difficult. Online work also makes it possible to practice coping skills between sessions in everyday settings and to bring concrete home-life examples into conversation.
