About Resa
Resa Sandora is a licensed clinical social worker with thirty years of experience. She holds an LISW-CP (Licensed Independent Social Worker - Clinical Practice) and an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker). She practices from South Carolina and offers therapy in English.
Her approach is straightforward and grounded. She aims to create a space where people can speak without feeling judged. Resa emphasizes practical steps people can try between sessions, along with listening and emotional support.
Background and approach
Resa works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and issues related to LGBT identity. She also supports people facing caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, pregnancy and childbirth challenges, and midlife transitions. Her background includes long-term clinical work across different settings over three decades.
In sessions she focuses on helping people cope with life changes, improve communication, and rebuild self-esteem. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person’s situation. The goal is to identify small, manageable changes that make daily life easier.
Resa encourages an honest, collaborative process. She invites people to share their priorities and helps them set achievable goals. The work moves at a pace the client prefers, with attention to both practical problems and emotional healing.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Resa uses well-established, evidence-based techniques to guide practical change. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence to reduce anxiety and worry. This method helps people notice patterns that keep problems going and try new ways of thinking.Another common technique centers on building concrete coping skills for stress, such as activity planning, relaxation practices, and structured problem solving. These tools aim to reduce overwhelm and make daily routines more manageable. Both approaches are useful for issues like depression, stress, ADHD-related struggles, and adjustment after life changes.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. Clients and the therapist decide together what feels helpful and what should change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and needs. This flexibility makes it easier to keep up with regular sessions while juggling work, family, or health demands.
