About Gerald
Gerald Sandeford is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with 22 years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, stress, addictions, and relationship difficulties.
Background and approach
Over two decades he has worked with adults and adolescents, guiding clients through practical strategies and evidence-informed interventions aimed at reducing distress and improving day-to-day functioning. Gerald blends structured therapeutic methods with a collaborative, client-centered stance.
He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside approaches such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to tailor care to each person’s needs. His style emphasizes skill-building, exploring patterns that contribute to persistent problems, and identifying small, actionable steps toward change.
Gerald welcomes inquiries from those ready to take the first step toward greater wellbeing and offers a supportive partnership through the therapeutic process.
Evidence-Informed Approaches Delivered Online
Gerald commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; CBT is practical and often focuses on developing skills to manage anxiety, low mood, and stress. He also integrates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for processing traumatic memories when appropriate; EMDR combines focused attention with guided processing to reduce the intensity of distressing recollections. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills can be introduced when emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, or distress tolerance are priorities, offering concrete tools for coping with strong emotions and improving relationships.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Gerald will discuss options and adapt methods based on a client’s goals, preferences, and responses in therapy, working together to find techniques that feel useful and manageable. This collaborative stance helps ensure the plan fits each person’s situation rather than relying on a single method.
Online therapy with Gerald is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for scheduling and the ability to continue work without traveling to an office. These formats allow clients to access consistent care while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and they make it easier to maintain momentum between sessions.
