About Sandra
Sandra Johnson uses a practical, client-centered approach to help people find steadier ground. She combines talk, problem solving, and skill-building to address current problems. Sandra is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 22 years of experience.
Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and issues around relationships and intimacy. She also helps people dealing with addictions, trauma and abuse, bipolar mood concerns, and obsessive or compulsive patterns.
How Sandra works
Sandra pays attention to parenting struggles, anger, self-esteem, and the challenges that come with life transitions. Sandra tends to use cognitive behavioral methods to look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. She mixes in client-centered listening, dialectical behavior skills, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused techniques depending on what each person needs.
The goal is to build skills that reduce overwhelming emotions and improve coping day to day. Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions include checking what’s most urgent, setting small goals, and practicing concrete tools between meetings.
Progress is measured by what actually changes for the person in their daily life. Sandra brings two decades of clinical experience to conversations about attachment, body image, forgiveness, impulsivity, post-traumatic stress, and young adult issues. She works from Louisiana and conducts in-depth intake conversations to shape a plan that fits each person’s situation.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches that fit online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. It helps people feel heard and shapes goals that matter to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns.Sandra will work together with each person to choose approaches that match their goals and situation. Finding the right method is a collaborative process - she will check how techniques are working and adjust plans as needed to make progress that matters to the client.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people use body language and real-time conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins, skill practice, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and continue work on stress, coping, and relationships without extra travel.
