About Sandra
Sandra Myers is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, person-focused methods to help people through hard times. She offers straightforward support for stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes. Sandra keeps sessions calm and down-to-earth so parents can talk through worries without feeling judged.
She draws on client-centered therapy to listen closely and build on each person’s strengths. Sandra uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
She also brings in dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness tools for managing strong emotions and improving day-to-day coping. Sandra has eight years of experience and holds an LCSW, Louisiana license number LA LCSW 7121. That background informs how she supports practical changes, from sleep and eating concerns to career stress and compassion fatigue.
She also addresses ADHD, intimacy-related issues, and challenges tied to trauma and abuse. Sessions can address parenting stress and family-related concerns, with attention to clear communication and problem-solving. Sandra helps people build self-esteem, plan for transitions, and find small steps that lead to relief.
She avoids jargon and keeps the focus on what matters to each person. Therapy is collaborative and paced to each client. Sandra explains options, tries approaches that fit, and adjusts as needed based on what’s working.
Conversations tend to be practical, focused on skills and real-life solutions rather than labels.
Approaches that fit into busy lives
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening with respect and helping people discover their own solutions. It’s useful when someone needs a safe place to talk and figure out what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches simple steps to change patterns that cause stress or low mood. DBT skills and mindfulness offer concrete tools for handling intense emotions, improving coping, and staying grounded in the moment.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that match each person’s needs. This is a collaborative process where strategies are adjusted based on what helps most in real life.
Online sessions can make therapy fit around family schedules and daily errands. Video calls recreate a face-to-face conversation, phone sessions let someone connect hands-free, and live chat or text-based messaging allow short, ongoing check-ins and written reflections. These formats increase flexibility so people can use therapy in ways that suit their routines and pace of progress.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
