Sandra DeCarolis

Sandra DeCarolis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with ten years of clinical experience. She brings a calm, practical presence to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood disorders, addiction, grief, and life transitions. Sandra aims to form a trusting relationship where clients feel heard and respected.

Sandra draws on several therapy styles to fit each person’s needs. She uses Mindfulness Therapy to help clients become more aware of thoughts and bodily sensations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Client-centered approaches create space for people to lead the conversation while the therapist reflects and supports.

Her work often includes practical coping tools for sleep, eating concerns, and managing anger or low self-esteem. She also addresses relationship and intimacy-related issues and supports people facing caregiving stress, chronic illness, or major life changes. Sessions may include skill-building, goal setting, and short-term coaching when useful.

Sandra values working at the client’s pace and using strengths as a starting point. She emphasizes clear communication and teaches simple practices clients can use between sessions. The goal is steady progress toward the balance and stability each person wants.

People who choose Sandra can expect straightforward, down-to-earth guidance and a focus on practical steps. She invites people to explore what matters to them and to build new habits that support daily life.

How mindfulness and skills translate to online therapy

Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice their thoughts, breath, and body without judgment. It is often used to reduce reactivity to stress and to improve focus and self-awareness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. Client-centered therapy centers the person’s goals and uses reflective listening to deepen understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sandra will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She adjusts techniques as clients learn new skills and as their priorities change.

Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic. They also let people practice mindfulness exercises and CBT homework in the places where daily routines happen, which can help transfer new skills into everyday life.
