Sandra Sunter

Sandra Sunter is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 37 years of professional experience. She focuses on practical support for people facing grief, loss, depression, stress, and major life changes. Sandra helps clients build motivation, strengthen self-esteem, and find ways to move forward during difficult times.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what matters most to them. Conversations often center on current struggles and small steps that lead to change. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps people identify what they want to try next.

Sandra uses several evidence-based approaches to guide sessions, including cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance and commitment strategies, and mindfulness. She adapts methods to the person in front of her and focuses on tools that people can use between sessions. Solution-focused techniques are used to set clear, achievable goals.

Long experience working with caregiving stress, end-of-life concerns, chronic illness, and cancer-related strain informs her practical support. She also addresses relationship problems, family of origin issues, addiction concerns, and emotional challenges like anger, guilt, and shame.

Sessions aim to help people manage symptoms and build daily habits that support well-being. Sandra encourages small, steady progress rather than quick fixes. To begin, clients can complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session according to availability.

How Sandra uses therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while still moving toward a meaningful life. It focuses on values and committed actions rather than trying to eliminate uncomfortable feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so clients can test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. CBT is often used for depression, anxiety, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at the client’s pace to build trust and confidence in the therapeutic relationship.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needs change.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow a quicker check-in during the workday. It also makes it possible to continue regular sessions while managing caregiving responsibilities or health-related limits. Speak with the therapist after matching to clarify scheduling and format details.
