About Sandra

Sandra DeCarolis is a Licensed Professional Counselor and a National Certified Counselor practicing in Colorado. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from CU Denver and a Master’s degree in Counseling from Regis University in Denver, and she is a Certified Trauma Informed Care Practitioner - a credential that indicates specialized training in recognizing and responding to trauma.

She has worked with people ages 16 to 100 who present with a wide range of concerns, including trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar and other mood disorders, and substance abuse. She also supports individuals facing communication challenges, low self-esteem, social anxiety, and other life stressors.

Sandra uses an integrative approach to therapy, drawing on client-centered methods, solution-focused strategies, psychodynamic ideas, and cognitive behavioral techniques to tailor care to each person. Her practice is grounded in building a trusting therapeutic relationship and in identifying and using a client’s existing strengths to reach treatment goals. She emphasizes practical coping skills and increased self-awareness to help people move toward greater balance and well-being.

Sandra recognizes the courage involved in seeking help and approaches each client with respect and a commitment to supporting their healing and growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment in which the client’s experiences and goals guide the work. This approach helps people who need empathetic listening and encouragement to explore identity, relationships, and self-esteem concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and develop practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression, stress, and some addiction-related behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness - tools that are helpful when emotions feel overwhelming or when communication and boundary setting are areas of struggle.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is done collaboratively. Sandra will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and adapt methods so the work fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone and options for live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit care into a busy life and to maintain continuity when schedules or circumstances change. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support while accommodating different communication styles and access needs.
