About Sandra

Sandra Crisp is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with 13 years of experience. She works with young adults and others who are managing depression, grief, addictions, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem.

Sandra focuses on practical steps. She partners with clients to set clear goals and build an action plan. Sessions tend to focus on skills you can use between meetings as well as talking through what's been hardest.

Her background includes work with people facing chronic illness and disability, caregiver stress, and the effects of major life losses. She also supports people dealing with attachment and relationship concerns, communication and control issues, and problems that come from blended family dynamics.

In session she draws on several evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. That mix is used to help with mood, impulse control, coping after trauma, and patterns that keep repeating.

Sandra describes counseling as a shared process. She helps clients identify goals, track progress, and adjust plans when life changes. Her practical outlook is aimed at helping people find clearer steps forward rather than offering quick fixes.

Clients should check how sessions are scheduled and what formats are currently available before booking. Language of work is English and she serves people in Texas as well as international clients who can work in English.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you notice unhelpful thoughts and move toward chosen values. It is useful for low mood, stuckness, and recovery after loss. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete tools to change patterns that maintain depression or anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with impulse control and self-harm risk in some situations.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sandra will help you and her figure out which methods fit your goals and preferences. That is a collaborative process, and plans can change as your needs do.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm which options are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around school, shifts, or caregiving by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let you use practices and exercises in the context of your everyday life, so skills are practiced where you live them.
