She works with individuals on self-esteem, confidence, and coping with life changes.

She has worked with LGBTQ+ people during her career and helps people sort through relationship concerns, family-of-origin issues, and communication problems.

Her practice includes work around trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping difficulties, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder.

Sandee uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts her approach to each person’s goals. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking, and building everyday coping skills. She emphasizes small, steady changes and supports people as they try new ways of handling stress and relationships.

She holds LCSW credentials in Utah and Nevada and practices in Idaho. Sandee aims to help people find a more fulfilling life through a supportive, goal-focused partnership. If you want a therapist who listens, helps set achievable goals, and respects your experience, she offers that steady presence.

To begin, Sandee asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability. This helps her shape an initial plan that fits the person’s needs and life circumstances.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Sandee describes her work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and measurable progress. One common technique involves teaching coping and stress-management skills that help reduce anxiety and improve day-to-day functioning. These skills are useful for managing panic, social anxiety, and overwhelming stress.

Another key approach centers on grief and loss support, where the therapist helps people process emotions, remember what matters, and find ways to adjust routines and relationships. This work often includes pacing, memory work, and steps to rebuild structure after a loss.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs and goals. That means checking in about what feels helpful, trying methods that suit a person’s life, and changing course if something isn’t working.

For practical details about online sessions, confirm the session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone meet with a licensed professional from wherever they are located, while scheduling around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
