About Sandra
Sandra Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 22 years of experience working in mental health.
Background and approach
She uses a cognitive-behavioral framework to explore how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact, and combines that with complementary strategies drawn from client-centered, dialectical behavior, mindfulness, and solution-focused approaches. Sandra frames therapy as a collaborative process aimed at helping people move toward greater well-being.
She addresses a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and family problems, anger, self-esteem, bipolar and mood disorders, attention challenges, compulsive and obsessive behaviors, and compassion fatigue.
Her work also attends to attachment, body image, forgiveness, impulsivity, post-traumatic stress, and issues common to young adults. Practitioners describe her orientation as holistic and individualized, with an emphasis on practical skills and insight that support ongoing wellness.
Sandra practices in Louisiana and draws on over two decades of clinical experience to tailor interventions to each person’s needs and goals.
Integrating evidence-based approaches into online care
Sandra draws primarily from cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered therapy when working with clients online. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior, and it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many mood and coping challenges. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens closely and helps clients explore their own goals and values.
Finding the right blend of methods is part of the collaborative process. Sandra works with each person to determine which approaches and techniques fit their concerns, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting strategies over time to meet changing needs.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions, practice skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not practical.
