About Ishanie

Ishanie Sanchez is a licensed clinician who practices in New Jersey. She holds LPC and LMHC credentials and brings 15 years of experience to sessions. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, career pressure, and relationship concerns.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Her work pairs Narrative ideas with practical strategies. She helps people tell the stories that shape how they see themselves and shifts unhelpful patterns.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based concepts when they fit a person’s goals.

Background and approach

People come to her for depression, trauma and abuse recovery, grief, and coping with life changes. She also supports those dealing with intimacy issues, low self-esteem, ADHD-related challenges, and questions about identity and relationships. She aims to make sense of painful patterns and find manageable steps forward.

In sessions she keeps things collaborative and straightforward. Conversations focus on specific problems, current choices, and small experiments to test new ways of coping. She listens for cultural and immigration-related factors that affect how people experience stress or relationships.

Her background includes long-term clinical work and client-centered care. That experience informs how she balances practical tools like cognitive-behavioral techniques with space to reflect on personal history. The goal is clearer decision making and steadier emotional ground.

People who prefer Spanish can work with her in that language. Therapy formats include video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

Online session options

How narrative work and practical methods translate to online care

Many clients benefit from Narrative ideas that help name the stories they live by and imagine different endings. Narrative work focuses on reauthoring a person’s story to reduce shame and open new choices, and it can be helpful for relationship patterns, identity concerns, and feelings of emptiness.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another common approach she uses. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then take actions that match their values. Attachment-Based ideas are also used to look at how early relationships shape expectations and communication in adult relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they decide whether to focus on reauthoring stories, practicing ACT skills, attachment work, or a mix of methods.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video supports visual cues and longer deep work. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick coping strategies, or times when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family, or busy schedules.
