Sandra is an excellent therapist. Going through a blindside divorce and having to move back in with my mother at 39 years old has been difficult to navigate. Having Sandra to help me work through my emotions has helped save my life. Right from the beginning she understood me and that helped me feel safe and comfortable. She’s always there for me and is very easy to talk to. She’s the kind of therapist who offers a mix of listening and gentle guidance. If this is something you’re looking for in a therapist I highly recommend working with Sandra.

More about Sandra

  • 8 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I am licensed in Texas with 8 years of professional work experience. I have worked as a high school counselor for the past 9 years. Through my years working as a high school counselor I have worked with not only students, but family members, and staff as well. I have had the ability to help clients in areas such as anxiety, depression, self harm, trauma, eating disorders, self esteem issues, relationship issues, and career choices. Being a school counselor has given me the opportunity to work with a diverse group of counseling areas, and clients.

My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, existential, and interpersonal therapy. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a 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.

I always knew I needed to talk to someone, needed help but was always worried to be judge or to think it would be weird and awkward. But Sandra made me feel so safe that I opened up on some really deep wounds that I never shared with anyone. Thank you for listening and supporting me every day

I've never used this app or even done therapy before but I can confidently say that after the few sessions I've had, I will keep doing it for a long time. After each session I feel that weight come off my chest and go about the rest of my day happier. Life can be really difficult at times but it's always better after talking to Sandra. I look forward to every session with her and it is the highlight of my week. I ABSOLUTELY would recommend her to anyone! Be happy <3

i like working with Sandra. She listens to my concerns and offers good advice. Sometimes, I just need someone to help me to calm down my anxiety and worries. She is good at that. She does not just agree to what she might think that I want to hear, she listens and offers practical advice that I can actually consider as feasible to help with whatever situation. I am glad that I selected her. I actually chose her because of her ability to work with young people, her understanding, her bilingualism, and cultural background that could help me understand part of what I am going through. I have even recommended her and BetterHelp to others!
