About Suandria

Suandria Houston is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and shifts in self-esteem.

Background and approach

With ten years of clinical experience, she integrates practical strategies and compassionate listening to support clients facing depression, parenting and family concerns, and life transitions. Her approach acknowledges individual strengths and aims to build skills for coping and resilience.

Houston blends evidence-informed techniques with a person-centered stance, creating space for clients to name priorities and develop workable changes. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, and includes relationship-focused methods such as the Gottman Method and Imago work when relational patterns are central.

Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing also inform her work to support self-awareness and sustained progress. Based in Georgia, she accepts clients who prefer English and is open to working with international clients.

Prospective clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to therapist availability, with flexible session formats available to suit different needs.

Practical approaches for online healing and relationship work



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to help clients notice and reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it often supports work on anxiety, depression, and building coping strategies for daily life. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, allowing the client to set the pace while the therapist reflects and supports growth. The Gottman Method is applied when relationship dynamics are a focus, offering concrete tools to improve communication, manage conflict, and rebuild connection.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to determine which methods best match their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as needs shift and progress is observed. This conversation happens together rather than prescribing a single path up front.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which expand access and allow sessions to fit into busy schedules. These formats provide flexibility for clients balancing work, family, or travel, and make it easier to continue consistent care when life changes occur.
