About Sandra
Sandra Oteri is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania. She brings 21 years of experience in mental health and works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma, grief, and other life challenges. Sandra uses straightforward, practical methods to help clients set goals and build skills for day-to-day coping.
Sandra’s approach is interactive and respectful. She helps people increase self-awareness, learn coping strategies, and adjust behaviors that no longer serve them.
Background and approach
Sessions are described by her as a partnership where the client’s goals guide the work. She draws from several therapy styles rather than a single method. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is one approach she uses to address how feelings and attachment patterns affect relationships.
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when those tools fit the goal at hand. Sandra often helps people with attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, and commitment concerns. She also supports clients dealing with mood disorders, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, workplace stress, and parenting strain.
Her style is practical and goal-oriented. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps such as practicing new communication skills, noticing emotional patterns, and trying experiments between meetings. Sandra prefers to work during weekdays and is not available on weekends.

Online support
How Sandra’s Approaches Work Online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and shifting emotional patterns that shape how people relate. It helps when emotions and attachment needs get in the way of connectedness and communication. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match personal values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Sandra will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit those aims. Together they will track what helps and adjust the plan so the work stays useful and relevant to daily life.
Online sessions are offered by phone, video call, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is helpful for in-depth conversations and emotional work. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or for simpler check-ins. Live chat and messaging can support shorter updates, reflections between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep progress moving forward.
