About Sandra
LCSW in California with 12 years of experience, Sandra Galvan helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges. She works with concerns around family conflict, self-esteem, career questions, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Sandra uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a conversational, person-focused space where clients set the pace. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thought patterns and test practical behavior changes. In sessions she balances listening with concrete tools aimed at daily life.
Her practice often focuses on improving communication and reducing isolation. She helps people rebuild motivation, clarify life purpose, and nurture self-love through step-by-step conversations and small experiments between sessions. These are aimed at skills people can use outside of therapy.
Sandra adapts the pace depending on whether someone needs short-term coping strategies or longer work on self-esteem and relationships. She explains options plainly and revisits plans as goals shift. The work combines reflective talk with action steps.
Clients can expect straightforward language and practical suggestions during sessions. Sandra draws on a dozen years of practice in California to shape approaches that respond to daily pressures and life transitions. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking.

How Sandra’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s concerns. In practice this means sessions emphasize the client’s priorities, with the therapist reflecting what she hears and helping the client decide next steps. This approach suits people seeking a conversational, person-led process.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. Sessions include identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior experiments to test new ways of responding. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, stress, low mood, and motivation problems.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then try methods that fit the person’s situation. Plans are reviewed and adjusted as progress and priorities change.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by reducing travel and allowing sessions during workday breaks or from a quieter location. They also allow straightforward check-ins and homework review between sessions, which helps apply CBT exercises in real time.
