About Mirta
Mirta Z. Sandoval is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 15 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, addictions, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, bipolar concerns, and major life changes.

Mirta keeps language plain and straightforward so people can use what they learn right away.
How Mirta works
Mirta draws on several therapy methods depending on need. She may use client-centered work to create space for someone to tell their story. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps break unhelpful thinking patterns and shift behavior.
Solution-focused techniques are used to set short-term goals and track progress. She also uses motivational interviewing to help when change feels hard and existential ideas to look at values and meaning during big life transitions. This mix supports people dealing with addiction, relationship conflict, caregiver stress, family problems, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
Mirta is a veteran who served in the United States Air Force. That background informs her calm, direct style. She aims to be culturally aware and respectful of different life experiences.
The goal in sessions is clear: identify what matters, try doable steps, and check what helps next.

How Mirta’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. Online sessions give people a place to tell their story and have the therapist reflect and clarify so goals become clearer. This approach helps when someone needs empathy and a nonjudgmental space to sort feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. In an online session CBT can be used to identify unhelpful thoughts, try small behavior changes, and follow progress between visits. This is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about making a change. The therapist asks questions that help build motivation and plan realistic next steps. This method pairs well with online check-ins and messaging to support small shifts over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mirta will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques as progress is tracked and new issues come up.
Online therapy offers practical benefits like flexibility and easier scheduling. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a quick way to check in. Live chat and text-based messaging are handy for brief updates, homework, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life.
