About Isabel
Isabel Sanchez Cummings is an LISW (Licensed Independent Social Worker) practicing in Ohio with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on depression, anxiety, stress, coping with life changes, parenting concerns, and family issues, including family of origin matters. Isabel works with people across sexual orientations and with diverse cultural backgrounds. She speaks English and Spanish.
Isabel uses practical conversations to help people identify patterns coming from their early family experiences. She helps clients notice how roles, expectations, and communication from their family of origin affect current relationships and choices. Sessions often include learning new coping skills and decision-making strategies people can try between meetings.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. These methods support clearer thinking, present-moment awareness, and values-based action without relying on jargon. Isabel also uses motivational interviewing when people want help making changes.
She emphasizes autonomy, competence, effectiveness, integrity, and respect for diversity in her work. That means paying attention to each person’s beliefs, culture, and life situation while helping them build practical tools. Isabel also supports people caring for others, including caregivers and parents of individuals with special needs.
To begin, someone fills out a short matching questionnaire and schedules an initial session. The intake helps identify goals and which approaches may fit best. Ongoing sessions focus on concrete skills, recognizing family patterns, and exploring options for change.
How her approaches translate to online work
Isabel commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her practice. ACT focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values even when difficult feelings are present. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical ways to change unhelpful patterns.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on listening and responding to each person’s experience without judgment. Together, these approaches help address family of origin patterns, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes in a straightforward way. Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals and try methods that fit the person’s needs and preferences, adjusting as they learn what works.
The original profile does not list which online formats are used, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and let conversations continue even when travel or work commitments change. Isabel will discuss practical arrangements and how sessions can be scheduled to match everyday life.
