About Sandra

Sandra Bachman is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) practicing in Ohio who guides people through stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, addiction concerns, and recovery from trauma and abuse.

Background and approach

With three years of clinical experience, she blends practical skill-building with empathetic support to help clients strengthen self-esteem, address attachment and communication difficulties, and work through guilt, shame, and questions of life purpose. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and self-compassion, inviting clients to explore their experiences and develop tools for lasting change.

Sandra draws on a range of evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques and trauma-focused interventions, to tailor care to each person’s needs. She aims to create a steady, respectful space where insight leads to practical steps and renewed confidence.

Clients considering transitions or seeking to reclaim a sense of direction will find a therapist focused on clarity and resilience. Sandra prioritizes clear communication and goal-oriented work while remaining flexible to meet individual preferences and evolving concerns.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It typically involves practical exercises and homework to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and improve mood by shifting patterns in thinking and action.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify personal values and build psychological flexibility through acceptance and committed action. This approach often helps with anxiety, low self-worth, and life purpose questions by teaching ways to live more consistently with what matters to the individual.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative part of the therapeutic process. Sandra works with clients to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and she adapts strategies over time as needs change.

Online therapy with Sandra is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy schedules or life transitions, allowing work on skills, processing of emotions, and progress toward goals from different settings.
