About Sandra

Sandra Crisp is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 13 years of experience. She works with adults facing depression, grief, addictions, trauma and abuse, and issues with self-esteem. Sandra also addresses concerns tied to blended family issues and related stressors.

Her approach is collaborative and direct. She helps people name goals and builds straightforward action plans to reach them. Sessions focus on practical steps, coping skills, and clearer communication. Sandra often works with people who have more than one concern at once and coordinates care around overlapping issues.

Sandra uses a mix of therapy methods to match each person's needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and actions. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and small steps toward them. Attachment-based ideas help when relationships and trust are central problems.

Her background includes a master’s degree in mental health and rehabilitation counseling and experience in chemical dependency work. Sandra has long experience treating trauma and chronic illness or disability alongside other mental health concerns. She brings that practical experience into session planning and goal setting.

People seeking support in a blended household often want help with loyalty conflicts, co-parenting tensions, and merging routines. Sandra helps individuals sort through those pressures, set boundaries, and practice new ways of communicating. She encourages concrete changes that can ease daily life and reduce recurring conflict.

How Sandra uses approaches in online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) asks people to clarify what matters most to them and take small committed steps toward those values. It can help with depression, grief, and motivation by turning values into everyday actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and practicing new responses to reduce symptoms and improve function.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Sandra collaborates with each person to test methods and adjust what isn’t helping. She will discuss the chosen approach, set goals together, and review progress so the plan fits the person’s needs and preferences.

Confirm the exact online session options before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people join from different locations if they are traveling or living abroad. Licensed professionals adapt exercises and homework so they work in a virtual setting and to fit everyday life demands.
