About Sandra
Sandra Crisp is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) licensed in Texas with 13 years of clinical experience. She sees people dealing with depression, grief, addictions, and trauma. Her practice also addresses self-esteem and a wide range of related concerns such as chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image, and communication problems.
Sandra approaches counseling as a collaborative effort. She works with individuals to name practical goals and to build a straightforward plan to reach them. Sessions focus on skills and small, manageable steps rather than long lectures or vague reassurance.
Her methods draw on several evidence-based approaches. Sandra uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take purposeful action. She incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different responses. She also uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions.
Clients who bring overlapping issues such as addiction plus trauma, or chronic illness with depression, will find a clinician accustomed to working with co-occurring concerns. Sandra pays attention to how problems interact and adjusts the plan as needs change.
People who feel stuck after changes in work, relationships, or health often come for help making clear next steps. Sandra aims to break big problems into concrete tasks. She checks progress and shifts strategies if something is not working.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values, even when emotions or symptoms are difficult. It is often used for depression, anxiety, and struggles with motivation.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different ways of thinking and acting. It can be helpful for low mood, negative self-talk, and behavior patterns tied to addiction or avoidance.
Attachment-Based ideas look at how early relationships affect present-day reactions and close connections. This approach can be useful when relationship patterns, abandonment worries, or attachment issues are making life harder.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sandra will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That process may combine tools from different approaches and change over time as progress is reviewed.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because specific formats were not listed in the profile. Ask which formats are offered and how they fit your schedule. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy can work alongside work, caregiving, or medical appointments.
