About Ishanie
Ishanie Sanchez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New Jersey with 15 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and life transitions. Her practice also includes support for LGBT concerns, grief, self-esteem, career questions, ADHD, and mood disorders.
She frames sessions around practical skills and clearer understanding. Ishanie helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck and develop routines that reduce overwhelm. Conversations often focus on communication, setting boundaries, and coping strategies for everyday stressors such as work or study pressures.
Her background combines several evidence-based approaches. She uses techniques drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to change unhelpful thinking and build committed action. Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centered methods guide work on relationships, trust, and emotional connection.
Across sessions she may introduce Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when mood swings or impulsivity are a concern. She brings attention to cultural and immigration-related issues when they matter to the person in front of her. Conversations can shift between short-term problem solving and longer work on identity, life purpose, or family patterns.
Ishanie offers therapy in English and Spanish. She does not accept international clients. To begin, the site requires completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when someone feels stuck or unsure about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical steps to shift patterns that increase anxiety or depression. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship experiences affect current trust and intimacy, useful for relationship or commitment issues.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. This means sessions can mix skills work, values-based planning, and relationship-focused exploration depending on what helps most.
The original biography did not list specific session formats for online work, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work, or commuting. They also let people use shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, and choose quieter surroundings that suit them. Licensed professionals adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment work to remote sessions so practical tools and conversations can continue even when meeting remotely.
