About Isabel
Isabel Sanchez Cummings is an Ohio LISW with 11 years of direct mental health experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, and life changes. She also supports people managing relationship and family concerns, caregiving strain, codependency, and issues related to trauma and abuse.
Isabel uses practical, straightforward talking and reflection to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck. She uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people act in ways that match their values. She also draws on client-centered and mindfulness approaches to slow things down and to clarify what matters to the client.
Her sessions often focus on clear goals such as making decisions, building coping skills, and finding internal and external resources. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems, and challenges that come with blended families or caring for someone with special needs. She works with people who identify as straight or LGBTQIA and across many cultural and religious backgrounds.
Isabel emphasizes autonomy and competence in her work. She explains options, offers feedback, and steps back when clients want to take the lead. She also makes referrals when another resource better fits a person’s needs.
She works in English and Spanish. Before scheduling, people should confirm the current session options and any details about how sessions are arranged.
How sessions work
How Isabel brings evidence-based approaches to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then pick actions that fit their values. It can help with stress, codependency patterns, and decisions about relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and includes practical exercises to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of choices.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Isabel treats the choice of method as collaborative. She listens to what the person wants, explains options, and tries approaches that match a person's goals and preferences. Adjustments happen over time based on what helps most.
Confirm the supported session formats before booking, since specific online options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling around work, caregiving, or travel. They can allow for shorter check-ins when days are busy, or for sessions without video when bandwidth is limited. Talk with Isabel during the matching step to clarify how sessions will be scheduled and to decide what will fit into everyday life.
