About Sandra

Sandra Bachman is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) practicing in Ohio. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, addictions, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem. Sandra aims to create a calm space where people can name what’s hard and start to take small steps forward.

Sandra uses straightforward, practical methods. She listens first and helps people identify values, patterns, and goals. Sessions often include skill-building for communication, managing anxious thoughts, and repairing trust after hurt.

Background and approach

Her background includes work with people recovering from trauma and emotional abuse. She draws on a mix of approaches such as Gottman Method ideas for relationship work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for values-based change, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for thinking and behavior shifts, and EMDR for trauma processing when appropriate. Sandra emphasizes self-compassion and realistic goals.

She helps clients untangle guilt, shame, and attachment concerns. She also supports people who feel stuck questioning life purpose or wanting stronger self-love. The tone in sessions is warm but direct.

Sandra offers practical tools and steady listening so clients can try new ways of relating to themselves and others. Progress is framed in small, measurable steps rather than quick fixes.

Online support

Using relationship and trauma-focused approaches online

Sandra commonly draws from the Gottman Method to guide conversations about communication and connection. Gottman-informed tools help people notice interaction patterns and practice specific skills to reduce conflict and rebuild closeness.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify their values and take small actions toward them even when feelings are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sandra treats therapy as a team effort and will discuss which methods fit a client's goals and comfort. She adapts techniques based on what a person needs and how they respond over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility across several formats: video calls for longer sessions with face-to-face interaction, phone sessions when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text messaging for brief check-ins or midweek support. These options let people schedule care around work, child care, or other commitments and keep continuity when life gets busy.
