About Sandra
Sandra Roberts is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois. She brings 17 years of counseling experience and a warm, approachable style to sessions. Her work commonly addresses stress, anxiety, ADHD, depression, grief, anger, parenting concerns, and healing after trauma.
Sandra meets people where they are and talks in plain language. She describes herself as supportive and nonjudgmental. She also shares a Christian perspective and may draw on faith when clients want that included, but she does not impose beliefs.
Background and approach
Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Arts in Counseling from Lincoln Christian College and Seminary. She has provided care in a variety of settings over many years, including in-person and online telehealth formats. Sandra has particular experience helping individuals with parenting challenges and anger management, including running court-ordered classes and programs tied to service plans.
She has also developed and taught a dating curriculum that covers safety, healthy boundaries, and recognizing red flags. Clients often come for help with anxiety, panic, post-traumatic stress, and recovery from sexual assault or other abuse. Sandra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide practical steps for coping, emotional regulation, and improved communication.
Sessions are conversational and focused on real-life problem solving. Sandra aims to help each person build clearer goals and practical tools they can try between sessions.
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Two evidence-based therapeutic techniques Sandra commonly uses are cognitive-behavioral methods and trauma-informed approaches. Cognitive-behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises to reduce anxiety, panic, and negative thinking. Trauma-informed approaches emphasize safety, pacing, and skills for managing distress after abuse or traumatic events.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sandra works with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer flexible, on-the-go ways to work through issues between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or family obligations and expand access for people across Illinois.
