About Sandra

Sandra Romero is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in California with four years of experience. She works with adults on family concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and coaching. She offers services in English and Spanish and brings attention to cultural and caregiving pressures many clients face.

Sandra spends much of her time helping people recover from trauma, including survivors of domestic violence. She also supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, workplace stress, and the strain of balancing multiple roles. Her background includes work with immigration-related stress and family of origin issues.

Her way of working is collaborative and practical. She uses evidence-based techniques and explains how stress and trauma can affect the brain and body. Sessions focus on identifying goals and building straightforward coping tools that people can try between meetings.

Sandra is open to integrating a client’s Christian faith into sessions when requested, and she does so alongside clinical approaches. This is offered respectfully and based on what the individual wants.

She aims for steady, paced progress rather than quick fixes. Early meetings typically clarify immediate concerns and create a plan for what to work on next. Over time the work moves toward stronger emotional regulation and healthier patterns in relationships and daily life.

How sessions work

Evidence-based approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. It is useful for coping with life changes, low mood, and ongoing stress. Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) focuses on changing unhelpful beliefs that can follow trauma. It supports people who are working through post-traumatic stress and related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, personal preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before to decide which techniques to try. That collaboration makes it easier to adjust methods if something is not working.

Confirm the specific online session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. In general, remote work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can use the time to review tools between meetings and to plan practical steps you can try during the week.
