About Sandra
Sandra Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 22 years in the mental health field. She focuses on practical steps people can use to feel better and manage day-to-day challenges. Sandra works to make therapy straightforward and focused on real change.
She uses a mix of approaches, including cognitive-behavioral and client-centered methods, to help people notice patterns of thought and behavior that get in the way.
Background and approach
Sessions often include clear tools and simple skills to handle anxiety, stress, anger, and mood shifts. Mindfulness and solution-focused ideas are added when they fit a person’s goals. Sandra often supports people dealing with grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, addiction concerns, trauma, and struggles with self-esteem or body image.
She also helps with attention-related issues, compulsive behaviors, bipolar mood challenges, and the practical fallout of major life changes. Her work aims to make problems easier to manage, not to label or define a person. In sessions she listens first, then helps set small, doable goals.
Therapy can include talking through situations, practicing new ways of reacting, and trying short exercises between meetings. Progress is tracked in everyday terms so people notice what’s changing. Sandra practices in Louisiana and holds both LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) and LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) credentials.
She offers a calm, straightforward style for people who want focused help and clear next steps.
Using CBT and Client-Centered Care Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and working from your goals. The therapist helps people name what matters, reflect on hard moments, and decide what to try next. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships when impulsivity or intense moods get in the way.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals, day-to-day life, and preferences. Approaches can be mixed and adjusted as progress is made, and the plan is revisited over time to stay useful.
Online sessions can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions are good for face-to-face conversation and exercises that benefit from seeing each other, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people share thoughts between meetings. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and make it simpler to keep regular contact with a licensed professional.
