About Saundra

Saundra Green is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 16 years of clinical experience. She blends psychotherapy and life coaching to help people who feel stuck, confused, or overwhelmed by relationships, work, or life transitions. Her tone is warm and interactive, and she aims to make conversation practical and respectful from the first session.

She draws on a mix of therapies to meet each person’s needs.

Background and approach

That includes cognitive-behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and client-centered work to center the client's goals. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about patterns in close relationships and intimacy. Saundra also works with issues related to parenting, anger, career shifts, and the frustrations of dating apps and social media.

She mentions attention to multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, and fatherhood matters when relevant to a person's story. Her approach avoids labeling and focuses on real-life steps forward. She authored a book titled Clarity, 7 Steps From Getting Unstuck to Taking Action, which she points to as a resource for people seeking direction.

She uses practical tools drawn from therapy and coaching to help people make clearer choices. Sessions are designed to be collaborative. Saundra listens for what matters most, tailors conversations to each person's situation, and helps craft a plan for change that fits daily life.

Therapy Approaches and Online Options

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. It helps people who want practical ways to move forward despite uncertainty. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful habits and reduce emotional distress. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early and current relationship patterns shape expectations and reactions in close connections, helping people understand and shift those patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist partners with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they try different tools, see what helps, and adjust the plan as needed in a collaborative way.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue conversations between sessions. The variety lets people choose the way of connecting that feels most comfortable while keeping focus on clear goals and practical steps.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
