About Sandra
Sandra Roberts is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois. She offers a warm, approachable presence and speaks plainly with parents who are worried about behavior, anger, or anxiety in their children or themselves. She emphasizes respect and a non-judgmental attitude while integrating her Christian faith when clients welcome that perspective.
Sandra has 17 years of experience across in-person and telehealth settings. She has spent significant time supporting parenting challenges and anger management needs, including running classes used for court-ordered requirements or Department of Children and Family Services service plans.
Background and approach
She also developed and taught a curriculum on dating safety and red flags. Her background includes care for depression, anxiety, grief, and healing after domestic violence, childhood abuse, and other traumas. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address panic, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and related concerns.
Sandra uses practical strategies to help parents and individuals manage difficult emotions and improve day-to-day functioning. Sessions focus on clear goals and straightforward tools. She listens first, then offers steps that families can try between meetings.
Sandra tailors conversations to each person’s values and needs, and when faith is important she incorporates those beliefs respectfully. Parents reading on a phone will find direct language and simple next steps in her work. Sandra aims to help people feel steadier, communicate better, and find practical ways forward amid stress and upheaval.
Evidence-based approaches and online care for parenting and healing
Many of Sandra's methods use evidence-based techniques that focus on practical skills. Cognitive-behavioral strategies help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, panic attacks, and negative self-talk. These techniques also lend themselves to concrete parenting strategies that can be practiced at home.Trauma-informed approaches emphasize safety, pacing, and rebuilding a sense of control after abuse or other traumatic events. This work often includes grounding exercises, coping skills for intense emotions, and step-by-step plans for processing difficult memories at a pace the person can manage.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sandra will work with each client to decide which techniques fit their goals, values, and comfort level. She adapts methods over time based on what helps and what feels respectful to the client’s beliefs and preferences.
Online therapy allows sessions by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and to keep continuity when in-person visits are difficult. The variety of formats also lets people choose brief check-ins or longer discussions, so support can match changing needs.
