About Sandra

Sandra Miramontes is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Florida with 10 years of experience. She offers counseling in English and Spanish and works with adults on relationship concerns, trauma, intimacy issues, anxiety, depression, and blended family challenges.

Sandra uses several well-known approaches and adjusts them to fit what each person needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and attachment-focused work to address patterns that cause distress. Sessions are straightforward and focused on practical change rather than jargon.

People bring a wide range of struggles to sessions. Sandra helps with grief, stress, anger, addiction concerns, self-esteem, career strain, and coping with life changes. She also works with issues connected to adoption and foster care, abandonment, attachment struggles, body image, chronic illness, and caregiver stress.

Her background includes a Master of Science degree in Counseling and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. The LMFT credential reflects her clinical track in marriage and family therapy in Florida and Tennessee. Her style is client-centered and problem-focused, helping people set clear goals and learn skills to manage everyday situations.

Sessions aim to identify unhelpful patterns and try modest, practical experiments to change them. Sandra encourages short-term skill building such as emotion regulation, communication exercises, and values-based decision making. Those interested in starting are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and then take small steps that align with those values. It is useful when someone feels stuck, overwhelmed by anxious or depressive thoughts, or unsure how to move forward.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that affect relationships.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and connection strategies. This work can help people understand loyalty conflicts, trust issues, and recurring relationship difficulties common in blended households.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences, and she will adjust plans as progress is reviewed.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed here. Ask about available options when you complete the short matching questionnaire. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so work or parenting responsibilities are easier to manage.
