About Sandra

LMHC in Florida with 15 years' experience. Sandra Treston helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and grief. She also addresses self-esteem, anger, bipolar and coping with major life changes using practical, conversational methods.

Sandra uses a mix of evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and client-centered work. Sessions are focused on identifying what isn’t working, learning useful skills, and making step-by-step changes. She aims to keep sessions direct and focused on real problems people face day to day.

Clients can expect a collaborative approach that combines short-term coping tools with longer-term skills building. Sandra talks through patterns that keep people stuck and practices alternative ways of responding. She also attends to issues around body image, codependency, communication problems, and substance concerns when those come up.

Her background includes work across different settings over 15 years, supporting adults with mood disorders, personality-related concerns, and complex emotional reactions. Sandra describes her work as strength-based and practical; she helps people notice internal resources and apply them in clear steps.

Sessions are conducted in English from Florida. International clients are not accepted. Cost varies by location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their values and take small actions toward them. It focuses on accepting difficult thoughts while building committed steps that move a person toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. It often uses simple homework and practice between sessions to build skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for regulating intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness; it can be useful when emotions feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client review problems, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as needed based on how the work is progressing.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists use these methods to deliver practical skill-building, behavioral experiments, and emotion-regulation practice that people can apply between sessions.
