About Isabel

Isabel Sanchez Cummings is an Ohio Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with supervisory designation and 11 years of direct mental health experience. She helps people manage anger alongside stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, relationship and family concerns. Isabel also supports those coping with life changes, parenting challenges, career questions, compassion fatigue, and trauma and abuse. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

Isabel keeps the work practical. She focuses on identifying recurring patterns and on building concrete coping skills. Conversations look at decision-making, using internal and external resources, and developing ways to respond differently when anger or frustration comes up. She aims to balance steady challenge with supportive guidance.

Her practice draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, existential ideas, and mindfulness practices. That means attention to values, practical behavior changes, and learning to notice thoughts without acting on them. Techniques often include mindfulness exercises, values clarification, and strategies to change unhelpful thinking.

She describes core practice values as autonomy, competence, effectiveness, integrity, and respect for diversity. Isabel works with individuals across cultures and identities, including straight and LGBTQIA people, and is experienced with caregiver stress and blended family issues. She emphasizes clear goals and workable steps rather than abstract theory.

Her approach may appeal to someone who wants steady, direct work on temper, relationships, or everyday stressors. To begin, the service uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time; confirm current session options before booking.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small actions that align with those values. It helps with anger by shifting attention from trying to eliminate feelings to acting in ways that reflect chosen priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers practical tools to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns that fuel anger and to rehearse alternative responses in stressful situations.

Mindfulness approaches teach simple attention practices to notice bodily cues and impulses before reacting. These skills support calmer decision-making at work, home, or in relationships.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That process can include trying different techniques and tracking what helps most.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel. Therapists and licensed professionals often use a range of methods online to support skills practice, values work, and behavior change without promising a particular format.
