About Sandra

Sandra Johnson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 22 years in mental health care. She focuses on clear, practical work that helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and ADHD. Sandra speaks plainly in sessions and aims to make therapy easy to understand and use.

She draws on client-centered methods to focus on each person's strengths and goals. Sandra also uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new coping skills.

Background and approach

When strong emotions or impulsive behaviors get in the way, she brings in techniques from dialectical behavior therapy to help with emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented. People can expect to set simple, concrete goals and practice skills between meetings.

Sandra adapts pace and strategies to match what is realistic for each person's life and schedule. Her background spans work with mood disorders, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, and obsessive-compulsive patterns. She helps people process grief, manage anger, and navigate life transitions while addressing attachment and self-esteem issues when they arise.

Sandra offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging to fit different needs. She works from a practical mindset - trying out methods, reviewing what helps, and changing course when needed. The emphasis is on usable skills and steady progress.

Therapeutic approaches applied to online care

Sandra uses client-centered therapy to focus sessions around each person's needs and goals. That approach means the therapist listens closely, follows the client's lead, and builds on strengths to move toward tangible change.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thinking, practice new ways of reacting, and build concrete coping skills for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sandra will talk with each person about goals, try methods, and adjust the plan together. This collaborative process helps choose techniques that fit the client's life and preferences rather than forcing a single method.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and skill coaching. Phone sessions can fit a short break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are helpful for quick check-ins, journaling between sessions, and ongoing skill practice. These options give flexibility to use therapy in ways that match daily routines and needs.
