About Sandra

Sandra Myers is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Louisiana who blends practical strategies with empathetic, person-centered care. She uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered techniques to help people address depression, anxiety, grief, and the stressors that accompany major life changes.

Background and approach

With an emphasis on building coping skills, she guides clients toward clearer thinking, improved mood regulation, and stronger self‑esteem. Her practice supports those facing complex interpersonal and emotional challenges, including trauma, intimacy-related concerns, parenting difficulties, career stress, and issues related to identity and relationships.

She also works with clients affected by chronic illness, caregiving burdens, and co-occurring concerns such as ADHD and bipolar mood presentations. Sandra combines evidence-informed methods like DBT and mindfulness to teach practical tools for tolerating distress and strengthening resilience.

Over eight years of practice, Sandra aims to offer a warm, nonjudgmental setting where clients can explore values, repair communication patterns, and set attainable goals. She frames therapy as a collaborative process focused on empowerment, helping people uncover internal resources and develop personalized strategies for lasting change.

How Sandra Integrates Evidence-Based Methods into Online Care

Online therapy with Sandra often incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered approaches tailored to the challenges a person brings. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Client-centered work emphasizes a collaborative, empathetic stance that helps people explore values, increase self-compassion, and set personally meaningful goals.

She may also use elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy when skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness are needed. DBT techniques provide concrete tools for managing intense emotions and improving communication in relationships. Sandra approaches treatment as a partnership, working with each person to determine which combination of methods best matches their needs, goals, and preferences rather than prescribing a single path from the start.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care across life transitions and to access practical therapeutic tools from home or during busy days. The variety of formats supports ongoing skill practice and timely check-ins to reinforce progress between sessions.
