About Sandra

Sandra Crisp is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing depression, addictions, trauma, grief, and self-esteem struggles. She meets clients where they are and works alongside them to set clear goals. Her approach is practical and direct, focused on steps people can take between sessions to feel steadier and more in control.

With 13 years of experience, Sandra often sees people managing more than one concern at a time, such as chronic illness alongside anxiety or grief alongside substance use. She uses a mix of well-known methods to match each person's needs, and she explains options in plain language so clients can choose what fits them.

Sandra’s work includes attention to attachment issues and the stresses that come with caregiving, chronic pain, cancer, and aging and geriatric issues. She emphasizes collaboration - clients and therapist plan each step together and track progress over time.

Sessions tend to focus on building practical skills, managing strong emotions, and restoring everyday routines. Sandra encourages small, achievable changes and checks in on how those changes are working. People leave with tools they can use when challenges arise again.

Her background includes a master’s degree in mental health and rehabilitation counseling and experience in chemical dependency counseling. Sandra supports people through difficult transitions and helps them find workable paths forward.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, focuses on helping people notice what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are hard. It can help with depression, grief, and loss of motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current connections and coping, which can be useful for people with relationship struggles or attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, history, and what methods feel most helpful. Together they decide which approaches to try and adjust those choices as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as arranging meetings around caregiving duties or medical appointments. It can also allow shorter check-ins by phone when a full video session isn’t practical, or save travel time so therapy feels more manageable. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused work for remote sessions so clients keep momentum between meetings.
