01About Gerald
Gerald Sandeford is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 22 years of clinical experience in Colorado. He works with adults and adolescents who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and the problems those issues can create. He emphasizes straightforward, practical support so people can feel steadier day to day.
Gerald keeps sessions focused and goal-oriented. He listens for what is most urgent, then helps clients learn tools to manage symptoms and respond differently in stressful moments.
Background and approach
He uses techniques that fit each person's pace and priorities rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. In practice he draws on several evidence-informed approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches emotion regulation and skills for dealing with intense feelings. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is offered for trauma-related memories that keep causing distress. Gerald also incorporates mindfulness and solution-focused methods to build coping skills and highlight practical steps forward.
Sessions tend to balance skill teaching with time to process emotions and past experiences. The goal is improved day-to-day functioning and clearer choices about relationships and substance use. He recognizes that starting therapy feels hard and treats that first step with respect.
People who reach out can expect a calm, direct approach aimed at real change over time.

04Online support
How Gerald’s approaches work in online therapy
Gerald commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT sessions usually involve identifying patterns, trying small behavior changes, and reviewing what worked between meetings.He also employs Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach concrete skills for handling intense emotions. DBT sessions focus on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness so people can respond differently when stressed.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Gerald will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then pick or combine methods that make the most sense. The plan can change as progress is made or new needs appear.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls create a face-to-face feel for skill practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions or audio-only calls work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let someone send brief updates, practice skills between sessions, and keep momentum when life gets crowded. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and practical.
