About Sandra
Sandra Bono is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 45 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and issues related to LGBT identity and ADHD. Her practice also addresses first responder concerns and multicultural matters.
Her style is straightforward and client-centered. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on practical steps to reduce distress. Sandra listens for what matters most to each person and keeps things direct and grounded.
She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them. That approach pairs well with client-centered work, where the conversation follows the client's priorities and pace. Together these methods aim to increase psychological flexibility and clearer decision-making.
Sandra draws on decades of experience to recognize patterns that make daily life harder. She helps people sort priorities, set manageable goals, and practice small changes that add up. Sessions tend to emphasize plain language and doable actions rather than abstract concepts.
Many people seek her help when life demands become overwhelming or after a loss. She offers a calm, practical way to talk things through and to plan next steps. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. In practice this means learning brief exercises to observe thoughts and choose values-based steps, which can help with anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck.Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the client's concerns and pace. The therapist listens, reflects, and follows what matters most to the person. This approach supports clearer priorities and steady progress on everyday problems like stress, anger, and self-esteem.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sandra will discuss options and help decide what fits a client's goals and preferences. That collaborative choice can change over time as needs shift.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins during a lunch break or to meet when relocating within the same state. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions aim to integrate therapeutic practice into everyday life without requiring major schedule changes.
