Suandria Houston, LPC - Therapist in Georgia

About Suandria

Suandria Houston is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on common concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting. She emphasizes practical support for relationships, family challenges, self-esteem, and recovering from trauma and abuse. Her tone is direct and supportive to help worried parents make a clear next step toward help.

Suandria uses straightforward conversations to understand what matters most to each person. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen without judgment and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and habits.

Background and approach

She also incorporates elements from the Gottman Method and Imago Relationship Therapy when relationship patterns are part of the difficulty. Her approach is collaborative. She helps people set realistic goals and offers tools they can try between sessions.

Mindfulness exercises and motivational interviewing techniques are used to build small, steady changes in daily life. Suandria holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential - LPC - and has about 10 years of experience in counseling. She practices from Georgia and works with people from diverse backgrounds, including multicultural concerns.

Practical matters are handled plainly. Sessions are offered via video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit busy schedules. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-Centered Therapy is about active listening and making space for the person's perspective. It helps people feel heard and supports them in identifying their own solutions to stress, parenting concerns, and relationship struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and everyday stress through practice and short exercises.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to rely more on listening and reflective support, structured CBT exercises, or relationship-focused tools like elements from the Gottman Method and Imago techniques when needed.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can help fit sessions into busy family schedules. These options make it easier to attend regularly, try tools between meetings, and get timely support when challenges arise.

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.

Gottman Method

A research-based framework for couples, focused on how partners argue, repair, and stay connected. Practical and structured, with exercises to try between sessions.
