About Sondra

Sondra Whitaker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who works with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and life adjustment challenges. She centers the therapeutic relationship and aims to create a calm, empathetic space where clients feel heard and understood.

Background and approach

With seven years of clinical experience, she helps people explore their thoughts and feelings, build insight, and move toward meaningful personal goals. Sondra adapts her approach to each person's needs and collaborates on tailored treatment plans that emphasize practical skills, self-care, and lifestyle balance.

She offers education about mental health and supports clients through self-exploration and awareness. Whether someone is managing parenting concerns, grief, bipolar mood challenges, relationship stress, compassion fatigue, or coping with significant change, she provides guidance and techniques to address overwhelming experiences and everyday stressors.

Approach-driven care delivered online

Two evidence-based approaches often used by licensed professionals are cognitive-behavioral techniques, which help identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges, and trauma-informed strategies that create gradual, safe ways to process past hurt while building coping skills. Both approaches emphasize practical tools and skills that clients can apply in daily life to manage stress and improve functioning.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then tailor methods and adjust the plan as progress unfolds. This partnership helps ensure the selected techniques fit the individual's situation and evolve if different strategies are needed.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and maintain continuity of care. These formats support regular contact, allow work on skills between meetings, and can make accessing therapy more convenient for people across Texas who prefer remote options.
