About Sandra
Sandra Perry is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on the role of relationships in everyday life. She draws on more than 21 years of experience in mental health to help people facing family strain, parenting stress, grief, trauma, anger, and major life changes.
She has spent much of her career supporting people who have experienced childhood trauma, domestic violence, divorce, and loss. Sandra also works with concerns connected to behavioral and emotional disorders and with veterans and armed forces issues when these affect family life.
Sessions emphasize clear, open communication. Clients are encouraged to talk about what matters to them so they and the therapist can build realistic strategies. Sandra aims to make plans that match each person’s daily life and goals.
Therapy includes practical skills for coping with strong emotions and for handling conflict at home. The approach is collaborative and goal-focused, with a focus on what will help clients manage stress and take steps forward.
Sandra works from a family-centered perspective and tailors each counseling plan to the needs presented in the room. To begin, she asks about the situation, what the client hopes to change, and what small steps would feel most useful.
Therapeutic techniques that translate to online care
Evidence-based techniques used in Sandra's practice include approaches that focus on improving family communication and practical coping skills. Communication-focused work teaches ways to express needs clearly and to listen without escalating conflict, which can help during parenting struggles or relationship tension.She also uses trauma-informed strategies that help people understand how past events affect emotions and behavior today. These strategies typically involve grounding exercises and step-by-step plans to manage strong reactions, which many people find useful after loss or abuse.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sandra will work with each person to select methods that match their goals, history, and everyday demands. Together they review what feels most helpful and adjust plans as progress is made.
