She also supports people facing chronic illness, post-traumatic stress, seasonal mood shifts, and multicultural or discrimination-related stress.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Dr. Sanchez draws on well-researched therapeutic methods to help people address anxiety, trauma, and low self esteem. One common approach she uses involves practical skill building to manage anxiety and improve day-to-day functioning; this teaches breathing, pacing, and behavior changes that reduce overwhelm. Another approach focuses on processing traumatic experiences in a careful, paced way so memories cause less disruption to current life and relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, review your goals, and suggest approaches that fit your situation. Together you can try methods and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful and realistic for you.
