More about me

Licensing: M.Ed, LPC, LMFT Years in Practice: 22 State: Louisiana

Hello!

I'm Sandra Johnson, a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with more than 20 years of experience in the helping profession. I believe that nothing really happens by chance so whichever road that you traveled to get here is because you were already on a journey to wellness. I work daily to create an environment of holistic care that will hopefully assist you in finding your well place.

Among issues that I am able to address, but not limited to, that can interfere with current functioning include anxiety, depression, anger, stress, abuse, neglect, grief/loss issues, poor parenting skills, relationship issues, and boundary issues. I approach counseling from a cognitive-behavioral perspective. Patterns of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that interfere with present functioning are examined. Various other perspectives and strategies are used based on the client’s individual issues and needs.

Remember that wellness is an ongoing process. No matter where you are in that process it is always time for a wellness check. You may be in the prevention process or on your way to recovery as well as the hundred captions in between, but where ever you are in your process, I am here to help you assess, treat and continue the beautiful unfolding of your most well self.

I look forward to meeting you and to working with you as you continue on your journey to wellness.

See you soon!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

I appreciate how Sandra Johnson does video therapy sessions, and I like how she speaks to me when we are discussing things in the therapy session. She is on time when answering the video sessions, she answers the video session with a smile, and she responds to me when I have questions in a timely manner.

In the short time I’ve been her client, she has been wonderful! Very professional, timely, and efficient. She creates a safe, open, and listening space.

My therapist is very understanding of me special situation and keeps me in high hopes for a better future. Reminding me to ground myself and stay present at the same time. I’ve made great progress with my sessions. I couldn’t be matched with a better therapist for me.

Excellent therapist, gives amazing constructive advice. She really understands what i’m saying and lets me feel that i’m in a judge-free environment.

Sandra Johnson is very attentive to my concerns and offers conflict resolution.

Very informative and thorough

Definitely a person who sets mini goals for those willing to understand the situations they are going through. I would highly recommend her!!

Very attentive, easy to talk to.

Sandra is really great! Very insightful and good at helping me develop stress management techniques!

Ms Johnson is amazing. She literally listens to all of your concerns. She then comes up with different strategies on how to assist you in getting to through your problems. She makes you feel comfortable and it’s very inviting. Even though it’s timed with her you never feel rushed. I really appreciate Ms Johnson she has assisted on some many different levels.

My sessions have been great. Sandra Johnson is understanding, knowledgeable and makes me feel at ease.

Ms. Sandra is an amazing listener and is genuinely someone great to talk to. She has taught me a lot and helped me navigate through my anxiety and anger issues. If I didn’t spend so much time talking about me I would’ve liked to learn more about her. It’s been great and thank you so much Ms. Sandra, be well.

Sandra Johnson has been very supportive and worked with me on a variety of issues. I feel that I have made much progress since starting therapy with her.

Sandra makes me feel heard in our sessions. She listens and provides solutions.

Sandra has been wonderful to work with over the past several months. She’s helped me work through trauma, getting through a break up, and has helped me become more confident in myself. She’s the best!

Always amazing!

She is patient, knowledgeable and an awesome listener.

Sandra is a caring and intelligent therapist. She knows how to support you through difficult life situations. It’s a relief to have someone to talk to.

I have had 3 sessions with Sandra in the last month so far and every time I'm amazed at how well she understands me. She's very compassionate but straight forward at the same time. She asks such thought provoking questions and is very kind in her responses to me. So far, she has been excellent and is exactly the type of therapist I have needed.

Sandra is very encouraging and supportive. She listens and responds with affirmation and helpful suggestions. And she responds quickly to messages.

Wonderful caring therapist

Sandra is very kind and supportive during our sessions. She is very knowledgeable on the various topics that I bring to her and knows how to respond based on what I need to hear and / or understand. She is truly a breathe of fresh air.

Sandra shows up for me consistently and helps me to build tools that help me move forward. I feel like I am consistently moving in a direction that doesn't have me going around in circles emotionally.

Sandra listens, probes when necessary, always has a meeting plan established the prior week but is flexible if issues warrant. From the beginning, Sandra intuitively understood my concerns. She encourages me in my independent work with Alcoholics Anonymous and helps intergrade that program with my counseling. She is exactly what I need at this point in time for my overall mental, physical, and spiritual well being.

Sandra is a very knowledgeable therapist. She immediately made me feel comfortable. I highly recommend!

She is very understanding an listen to meb

Sandra is one of the most genuine, down to earth people i’ve ever met. she makes our calls feel like a chat with a good (and very honest) friend. I cannot say enough good things about her.

She responds timely and provides wise words and encouragement!

I find it valuable in working with Ms. Johnson

Ms Sandra is Excellent she has been very helpful and I would recommend her to anyone

Sandra has been working with me for 6 months and has helped me tremendously. With her assistance I have overcome some major challenges in my relationship and personal life through learning better coping skills, boundaries and self care techniques. Sandra has a warm and kind demeanor while also providing actual tools beyond just talk therapy to aide in developing a healthier mental and emotional state. She has excellent and prompt communication. She provides support that is comprehensive while respecting the boundaries of her clients. She pushed me when I needed to be pushed but also intuitively recognized when I couldn’t go farther emotionally. I highly recommend Sandra.

Sandra is amazing--patient, compassionate, understanding, and affirming. After our sessions I'm always able to think clearer and feel a sense of renewed purpose and being heard. She has given me skills I can take through my day and I am deeply grateful to continue to work with her.

Mrs. Johnson is completely nonjudgmental and meets you where you are. She is very responsive and engaged in the messages. She is very encouraging.

I’ve been in therapy with Sandra for about 6 months now. starting therapy is the best decision i’ve ever made. So blessed to have been paired with such a thoughtful, kind, and compassionate therapist. 5 star review.

Sandra is a compassionate therapist who truly listens and responds with clear ways to create goals and pathways to those goals. She is grounded and feels reliable and trustworthy in her words.

I am confident that Sandra will be effective in guiding me towards my healing and positive change.

Ms.Johnson listens and responds to my concerns. She addresses my most pressing issues and repeats back to me what we discussed. She “ hears” me.

I adore Ms. Sandra so much. I really feel like she gets me.

Sandra had helped me so much! I've worked with her when I was depressed and dealing with a new mental illness diagnosis. Sandra is personable, kind, and always brouggt different techniques to the sessions based on my needs. I've grown so much and got great stress management skills, learned new coping skill and tools while working with her. Thank you Sandra!! KE

Sandra is an amazing counselor. She is a great listener, and is very compassionate. Sandra helped me through an incredibly difficult time while I was grieving the loss of a parent. She was there every step of the way when I needed her even in times of urgency. Sandra provides you with great advice and helpful tools for coping and dealing with all sorts of different stressors. She has truly made a positive impact on my life after working with her for several months and I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Sandra is great, she listens well, provides great feedback and multiple ways to improve your situation.

She continually gives me space to address concerns and provide solutions for me to grow.

Great support and geared towards what your goals are. Definitely like her approach.

Sandra really listened to me. She provided practical tools and suggestions that I’m honestly going to take forward with me. In just 5 sessions, I’ve seen growth and shift in my mental health for the better. THANK YOU!!

When starting, I had a very low self esteem and was sad almost everyday but after months of therapy, I feel much better about myself than I've ever had!

Sandra has helped me to look at my thoughts and beliefs about myself closely so that I can challenge them. I feel empowered throughout the day to challenge emotions or thoughts with the thought log she shared. I have found instant satisfaction by using the log she gave me. I am growing and learning each session.

Sandra had made a positive impact in my life, she is very attentive, and thoughtful. Her approach to therapy is very good, with the tips and advice she offers, I feel more confident and better because of Sandra!

I initially sought Sandra to discuss anxiety within my workplace plus trust issues with my cheating husband. She helped me with her calming demeanor, keen listening, great suggestions for breathing and refocusing my negative/sad/anger thoughts and even role-played a hard conversation I needed to have with a colleague. Sandra also was instrumental in me regaining trust with my husband. I thank her for "saving" my marriage. She is the best.

Sandra does an amazing job of always listening to me and helping me reframe. I can’t put a value in working with her because she helps me in every way. As soon as I miss a session I realize very quickly how much our weekly sessions help me

Today’s session was rejuvenating and inspirational.

She is amazing. She is nonjudgmental, she is very attentive, and is really great with therapy techniques

An amazing listener

Sandra is very thoughtful and has a very calming spirit. She listens and provides tools to work through my issues! I love talking to her and I know she has a genuine concern for my well being.

I’ve only met with Sandra a few times, but she is an excellent listener and adviser, balancing leadership with genuine care and understanding. I have gained a great deal just listening and observing her calm way of quickly assessing a situation and knowing the best words to help me get a better perspective about it. I look forward to each session with her.

Great listener. Gives very contextual advice. I feel so empowered after every session that I have with her.

Oh my goodness, I just can’t say enough good things about her.

I am soon to celebrate my one year anniversary with Sandra Johnson. She has helped me [and by extension my family] tremendously. I now have the "tools" to understand and manage my anxiety, stress; negative childhood AND adult trauma(s). Sandra Johnson is a skilled and compassionate clinician.

I've been working with Sandra for a few months. She is so kind and calm. She listens to my concerns and provide me with tools, and also resources to work through challenges I am going through. I would definitely recommend Sandra of you are looking for a therapist.

The first session was amazing. She is a great listener and I she gives great advice. I’m excited for her guidance on healing.

Sandra Johnson has been absolutely amazing with me. I have tried at least 6 other therapists before who I felt just weren't understanding or actually helping. I highly recommended her to all my family and friends, or anyone that you can use someone to talk to. She has a way of making me feel more positive and focuses on building that and properly correcting any habits I may have, and does all this with a calm tone and great smile. Thanks to her I've been getting better and better each week. Can't thank her enough!

Sandra has been instrumental in helping me unpack and reorganize my mental environment so that I can live my life to the fullest and become the person that I aspire to be. She is AMAZING. Relatable, a great listener, and thought provoking. I enjoy every session with her and can't thank her enough!

I've only spoken with her once, but in that one call my therapist made me see some things that I hadnt noticed before and ways to deal with certain problems and issues. I look forward to continuing sessions and growing from my therapy experience.

Continue to be pleased with my experience with Sandra Johnson.

She’s amazing and she improves my quality of life dramatically

Sandra has been great to work with thus far. We are just in the beginning phases, but so far so good. I look forward to further unpacking and aiding in helping me see my blindspots.

My therapist Ms. S Johnson has been the best, shelved me through a bad time in my for the five weeks I'm grateful.

The fact she is patient with me is a plus !!! I don’t feel rushed into talking to her but she is always staying in touch with me !!!

Sandra was a pleasure to have as my therapist. I found her to be resourceful, empathetic and understanding. We used coping mechanisms that helped me deal with my arrested development, childhood trauma and anxiety. I feel more BRAVE and confident after each session with Sandra.

Sabra is such a kind hearted person. She takes great interest in her clients and she listens thoroughly to get a good understanding of the client’s situation(s). She provides great insight and techniques to positively move forward. She’s strong at expressing the importance of taking time for yourself, meditating and relaxing. She’s also very strong at teaching cognitive techniques to help strengthen your mental health and reducing stress. Her smile and voice is so calming. I most definitely thank her for all she’s done to help me.

Sandra has been a blessing. She taught me how to listen to my deep anxieties and fears, find the root of those thoughts, and reframe them in a lens to have more compassion for myself. Wonderfully open, kind, intelligent, compassionate, and engaged, she helped me to understand how important it is to practice self care and listen to my own needs. An extremely gifted and connective therapist. Also, she's just super enjoyable to have a conversation with!

Sandra is a breath of fresh air and has a true gift for helping people. She listens, seeks to understand and offers great insight on any situation that I bring to her. She always remembers details of your past conversations and helps you to realize the change or growth that has occurred. I would recommend her to anyone that I care about!!

Sandra Johnson is an available, compassionate, highly skilled and well-trained practitioner. She is personable, approachable AND you really believe that she wants you to find what YOU need to lead a productive and [mentally] healthy life. I also appreciate that Ms. Johnson, being a Black woman of a "certain age," allows for my sessions to progress [smoothly] WITHOUT the need to educate her on "cultural references" and "culturally nuances/norms"-------lived, shared experiences between the client and practitioner are very important in therapy. I highly recommend her services.

She is phenomenal! She literally saved me! Forever grateful!

My therapy experience with Sandra is the best I have ever had! She listens, offers to help and gives input when I’m feeling lost, and she starts each session by asking what I would like to talk about. I leave each session feeling more relaxed and prepared for the week ahead. I’m so grateful for Sandra!

Dr. Johnson is so professional, a true listener and a breath of fresh air. I’ve been seeing her for a few months now and before this had been searching for the right therapist and was close to canning the mission! I feel like I have someone to talk to, go over complex issues with and to really rely on through my therapy and healing journey. She spoke with me during one of the toughest points in life and has been an anchor for me as I rise away from those feelings and work on healthy coping mechanisms. If you are looking for a therapist that can truly feel like home and a helping hand, speak with Dr. Johnson!

Sandra is so warm and kind. Here methods are effective and I'm glad I selected her.

I’ve been working with Sandra for a couple of months now and I absolute love her. She is always attentive and listens for what I need at that moment. I love how she always lets me talk about what I feel is necessary but always has another plan just in case I don’t feel that there is anything particular to share. She is easy to talk to and I highly recommend her!

Dr Johnson is a compassionate listener. I appreciate her journal prompts and her skillful use of questions. She gets straight to the bottom of an issue in a gentle, thoughtful manner.
