I'm glad I found a therapist that listens to me but also provides guidance and ways to help with everyday life. The exercises help opening new doors to cope with trauma, or simply to bring peace everyday.

Hi. My name is Sandra DeCarolis and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and National Certified Counselor in Colorado. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from CU Denver and a Master’s degree in Counseling from Regis University in Denver. I am also a Certified Trauma Informed Care Practitioner. I have worked with a variety of clients ages 16 - 100 that present with a variety of issues and concerns including but not limited to: trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar, mood disorders and substance abuse. Or, they may be dealing with communication issues, self-esteem or social anxiety problems.

I am integrative in my approach to therapy in that I utilize Person Centered, Solution Focused, Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioral Therapies to assist during the sessions; whatever feels appropriate. My treatment approach is based on developing a therapeutic relationship with the client that has its foundation in trust. I will also utilize your strengths to help you achieve your desired changes and treatment goals.

I believe people have enormous potential and it is my desire to help them achieve the happiness, wholeness and the balance they desire in their lives by facilitating awareness and by introducing them to a variety of coping skills that they can utilize in times of duress.

I applaud your courage for reaching out for assistance and I look forward to witnessing your healing and evolution.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I loved working with Sandy, talking with her every week has been such a huge help! I had been struggling with my anxiety and stress for months, and after the first session with Sandy I felt like a weight was lifted off of my shoulders. From the start it felt like I was talking with a lifelong friend, which was such a huge relief as I have never worked with a therapist before and didn't know what to expect! I've discovered a few different stress management techniques since we've been meeting, and I feel like I've really worked through the main causes of my anxiety. I can truly say my life is better now that I've worked with Sandy!
