About Sandra
Sandra Galvan is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, and low self-esteem. She speaks English and Spanish and draws on 12 years of experience to offer steady, respectful support. Her approach aims to make the first steps toward change feel clearer and more manageable.
Sandra centers conversations on each person’s needs. She listens without judgment and then shapes a plan that fits what feels realistic for the client. Conversations focus on practical ways to build confidence, handle family tension, and get through big life changes.
She uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work grounded in the client's perspective. That means the person sets the pace while Sandra offers empathy, reflection, and gentle guidance. She also brings Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at patterns of thought and behavior and offers specific ways to shift them.
Sandra aims to support parents facing stress and to help people recover from burnout and compassion fatigue. She also helps with career concerns, loneliness, and finding a clearer sense of purpose. Sessions are shaped to match each person’s goals and day-to-day limits.
Her style is warm and straightforward. She encourages small, steady steps and celebrates progress along the way. To start, she asks clients to describe what matters most now and then maps out practical next steps.
Approaches for online sessions and what they offer
Sandra uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client, which helps people feel heard and understood as they sort out next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the thoughts and actions that keep problems going and offers simple skills to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sandra will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then suggest ways to try different methods. Together they check what helps and adjust the plan so therapy fits real life and real shifts in progress.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, and keep check-ins brief when needed. Some people prefer video for deeper conversation, while others choose options that take less time or bandwidth. Sandra aims to match session style to each person's needs and everyday routine.
