About Mirta
Mirta Z. Sandoval is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of experience. She has a background in the social sciences and is a United States Air Force veteran who served both stateside and overseas. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship strain, and challenges like self-esteem or coping with life changes.
Her approach is practical and responsive to the person in front of her. She adapts methods to the situation rather than using one fixed plan. Sessions focus on clear goals, learning skills, and trying new ways of handling feelings and conflicts.
Mirta uses a mix of approaches including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, existential ideas, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods. That combination lets her shift between talking through values and meaning, identifying patterns that feed anger or anxiety, and setting manageable steps to change behavior.
Her military background and years working with diverse people inform how she listens and asks questions. She aims to acknowledge where a person is coming from and help map practical next steps. Expect straightforward conversations, skill practice, and check-ins on what’s working.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so a person can explore concerns and make their own choices; it helps when someone wants a nondirective setting to talk through anger or life meaning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that feed anger or anxiety and teaches practical tools to change those patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, doable steps and concrete goals to reduce reactive behavior and build better routines.Figuring out which approach fits is part of the work. She will collaborate with the client to choose methods based on needs, goals, and what feels useful. That may mean blending strategies across sessions and adjusting as progress is made.

Many people find that remote sessions let them practice new skills in real life between meetings while keeping scheduling simpler.
