About Sandra

Sandra Johnson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Licensed Professional Counselor with 22 years of clinical experience. She blends client-centered care with evidence-based techniques to help people move through life transitions and persistent difficulties.

Background and approach

Sandra emphasizes understanding the personal narrative that brought someone to therapy and works collaboratively to build practical skills and insight. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar mood concerns, and ADHD.

Sandra tailors interventions using cognitive-behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior techniques, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused methods to match each person’s needs and goals. Throughout her career she has supported clients in navigating attachment issues, body image and family problems, impulsivity and obsessive-compulsive patterns, post-traumatic stress, forgiveness work, and challenges common in young adulthood.

Sandra approaches wellness as an ongoing process and offers a compassionate, practical framework for assessing current functioning and developing steps toward improved well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship that helps clients explore their experiences and identify what they value most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for intense emotional reactions and impulsivity.

Sandra approaches treatment as a collaborative process and will work with each person to determine which methods fit best. Together they will consider goals, preferences, and the specific concerns presented to find the right blend of strategies rather than assuming a single approach from the start.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for scheduling and communication style. These formats allow continuity of care across different locations and daily routines, making it easier to access regular support and practice skills between sessions.
