Dr. Sandra Bruno is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in Alabama with 25 years of professional experience. She earned a Master of Science in Marriage, Family, and Child Counseling from California State University more than twenty years ago and holds an advanced certification in alcohol and drug counseling, as well as a Doctorate of Ministry in Pastoral Counseling.
She has supported people confronting a wide range of challenges, including stress and anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, family and parenting conflicts, trauma and abuse, anger management, career difficulties, self-esteem issues, and compassion fatigue. Her work includes therapy for individuals, couples, and families.
Dr. Bruno uses a variety of evidence-based approaches, tailoring care to the needs of each person. She offers short-term, solution-focused work when appropriate and longer-term psychodynamic exploration when deeper patterns are the focus. Regardless of technique, her practice is rooted in a person-centered orientation that prioritizes a therapeutic alliance built on trust and empathy. Upon request, she incorporates a client’s faith into sessions and treatment planning.
Many people wonder whether online therapy can genuinely help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person care.
A major benefit is flexibility. Clients can connect in the format that suits them best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which often makes it easier to keep appointments and fit therapy into a busy life.
Sessions are provided by licensed professionals, and clients may switch therapists at any time if they would prefer a different match.
