About Sandra

Dr. Sandra Moreland is a licensed psychologist practicing in Oregon with 15 years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She holds a doctorate in psychology and has focused her work on helping adults navigate depression, anxiety, stress, and persistent pain. Her practice also addresses grief and loss, diminished motivation, and struggles with self-esteem and confidence.

She emphasizes a collaborative process, working with clients to set meaningful goals and tailor strategies to their unique situations.

In addition to core mood and anxiety concerns, she attends to related challenges such as panic attacks, social anxiety, communication problems, chronic illness and pain, aging and geriatric issues, guilt and shame, isolation or loneliness, and questions about life purpose and self-love.

Evidence-Informed Therapies Delivered Online

Dr. Moreland commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and panic; it often involves practical exercises and skills practice between sessions. ACT emphasizes values-driven action and learning to accept difficult internal experiences while committing to meaningful life goals, which can help with chronic stress, grief, and persistent pain.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with clients to explore goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked in the past, then recommend and adjust methods together so the plan fits each person's needs and circumstances.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to access care from home or other convenient locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different session formats, and schedule appointments around work, family, and health constraints.
