About Ishanie

Ishanie Sanchez is a licensed clinician who centers her work on practical, evidence-based strategies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) while integrating relational and acceptance-focused methods.

Background and approach

With 15 years of experience, she supports people facing depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and significant life changes by helping them build skills for coping, communication, and emotional regulation. Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns including stress, grief, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, career challenges, bipolar and mood disorders, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

She also works with issues tied to attachment, abandonment, infidelity, immigration, and financial stressors, using a culturally responsive lens and attention to individual life stories. Fluent in English and Spanish, Ishanie draws on client-centered and attachment-based principles to create a collaborative therapeutic experience that encourages insight and practical growth.

Licensed as an LPC and an LMHC, she practices in New Jersey and blends techniques from ACT, DBT, and emotionally focused approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs. Prospective clients begin by selecting the Start Therapy button and completing a brief matching questionnaire to find scheduling options based on therapist availability.

Remote care grounded in CBT and relational work

Many clients benefit from structured, skills-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values and mindful acceptance, supporting people who are managing difficult emotions or life changes by helping them clarify what matters and take committed action toward those values. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relational patterns and early attachment experiences, which can be useful for addressing intimacy-related issues, abandonment concerns, and communication problems between partners or within families.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to explore goals, preferences, and life context, then integrates techniques from CBT, ACT, or attachment-informed work as appropriate to create a personalized plan that evolves over time.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work and home routines, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access care from New Jersey without the need to travel.
