About Sandra
Sandra Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Louisiana with 22 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, grief, relationship and parenting concerns, and other life changes. Sessions are presented in straightforward, practical terms and focus on what is getting in the way of day-to-day functioning.
Sandra uses cognitive-behavioral ideas to look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions keep problems going. She also draws on client-centered listening, mindfulness practices, dialectical behavior strategies, and solution-focused work to fit what an individual needs in the moment. This variety lets her move between skill-building, reflection, and short-term problem solving.
People who struggle with impulsivity, attachment issues, body image, obsessive or compulsive behaviors, or post-traumatic stress may find the sessions focus on concrete coping tools and clearer patterns. Sandra also addresses addictions, bipolar mood concerns, compassion fatigue, and issues young adults commonly face. Anger is listed among the areas she helps with, and sessions will include ways to notice and respond to those reactions.
Her approach is practical rather than purely theoretical. Expect active discussion, skills practice, and steps you can try between meetings. Sandra frames progress as ongoing and evaluates what helps at each stage.
Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are not accepted. To begin, clients use the site's matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online booking flow.
How sessions work
How Sandra’s approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping a person feel understood so they can talk through what matters. It often creates space to slowly uncover patterns and priorities that feel important to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to spot unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and then try different responses. It is commonly used for anxiety, mood concerns, and anger by breaking problems into small, testable steps.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and impulsive actions, such as distress tolerance and emotion regulation. Those tools can be practiced in brief exercises between sessions to reduce reactivity.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick strategies that match goals, preferences, and what actually helps in daily life. That means trying tools, checking what changes, and adjusting the plan together.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work or family tasks, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also support practicing skills in the settings where problems occur, which can help translate session work into everyday routines.
