Ishanie Sanchez , LPC, LMHC

Ishanie Sanchez is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 15 years of clinical experience in New Jersey. She focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, trauma, and life transitions. She also offers support around issues common for women and for LGBT clients.

Her work is straightforward and collaborative. She listens to what matters most and helps people set small, practical goals they can try between sessions. Conversations often include learning new coping skills, practicing clearer communication, and noticing patterns that keep old problems in place.

Ishanie blends several approaches to match each person’s needs. That can mean drawing on cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking, using attachment-based ideas to understand patterns in relationships, or employing acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values and take action. She keeps the language plain and actionable.

She supports people facing grief, identity questions, immigration-related stress, work burnout, ADHD-related challenges, and issues like infidelity or abandonment. Sessions are available in English and Spanish.

Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Ishanie uses a mix of methods that translate well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. It often includes short exercises you can try between sessions to notice what changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take steps toward those values even when strong feelings show up. That approach can be useful for stress, life transitions, and persistent worry. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication; it can help people who struggle with trust, abandonment fears, or recurring relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then combine methods to fit the situation. This is a collaborative process and may shift as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is helpful for fuller conversations and skill practice. Phone calls can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits the day. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, coaching-style support, or when someone prefers written communication. These options aim to make therapy more accessible and flexible around work, family, and other commitments.
