Sandra Treston

Sandra Treston is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who helps people handle anger, stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and relationship pain. She speaks plainly and listens without judgment to help clients name what feels stuck. Her first goal is to make it easier to take the next step toward change.

Sandra brings 15 years of clinical experience working with adults across different settings. She uses a strengths-based approach and encourages people to reconnect with the skills they already have. Sessions focus on practical steps, skill building, and real-world choices that fit each person's life.

In conversations she offers calm, steady guidance and clear feedback. Sandra aims to be an encouraging sounding board while also challenging unhelpful patterns. That balance is meant to help clients move from feeling overwhelmed to feeling more in control of daily decisions and reactions.

Her work often includes helping people manage grief, trauma, addiction, mood shifts, intimacy issues, or burnout from caregiving and work. She also addresses concerns such as body image, codependency, boundaries, and communication problems. The focus is on creating a manageable plan and practicing new ways of coping.

People who choose Sandra can expect a collaborative process. She will help set goals, teach skills, and revisit progress as needed. To begin, a simple intake and scheduling step is used to match priorities and plan sessions.

How specific approaches guide online progress

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) asks people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, anger, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing it through practice and homework. It helps with anxiety, depression, mood swings, and many daily problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on recognizing and naming emotions to improve connection and reduce hurt in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sandra will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals, needs, and preferences. She can combine ideas from different approaches so sessions match what a person actually wants to change.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy life by cutting travel time and allowing sessions to happen from wherever is most convenient. Check which session formats are offered before booking, as the profile does not list formats. Many people find virtual sessions helpful for regular skill practice, follow-up check-ins, and managing emotions between in-person appointments.
