About Sacra

Sacra Durandisse brings 27 years of professional experience to her therapeutic work, offering steady guidance for people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and challenges with self-esteem and motivation. Licensed to practice in the District of Columbia and Maryland, she draws on a long career helping clients build confidence, navigate difficult life transitions, and recover from trauma and abuse.

She approaches each person as the expert of their own story, looking for strengths and resources that can be mobilized to overcome the problems that feel overwhelming. Sacra emphasizes practical steps and personal empowerment, helping clients set realistic goals and take courageous first steps toward a more fulfilling life. Her style blends support with clear direction so clients can develop new coping skills and greater self-belief.

Sacra holds MD, LCPC, and LMHC credentials - MD indicates a Doctor of Medicine, while LCPC and LMHC are licensed counseling credentials that reflect advanced training in mental health care. Throughout her practice she aims to create a compassionate, encouraging environment where clients feel supported in pursuing meaningful change.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care

Sacra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to common concerns such as stress, anxiety, and addiction. One approach focuses on skills training to manage anxious thoughts and day-to-day stressors - teaching practical strategies that help reduce worry, improve coping, and restore a sense of control. Another approach centers on recovery-oriented support for addictive behaviors and related triggers - working with clients to develop healthier routines, identify relapse risks, and strengthen motivation for change. For trauma and abuse, Sacra employs trauma-responsive methods that prioritize safety, pacing, and building resilience while addressing the emotional impact of past events.



Finding the right combination of methods is part of the therapeutic process. Sacra collaborates with each client to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she adjusts techniques over time so the plan fits the client rather than forcing a single model.



Online therapy sessions - by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - make it easier to access consistent care from home or on the go. These options provide scheduling flexibility, reduce travel time, and allow ongoing contact between sessions when appropriate, helping clients stay engaged with treatment while balancing everyday responsibilities.
