About Sandra

Sandra Crisp is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 13 years of clinical experience based in Texas. She helps people managing depression, grief, addictions, and the aftereffects of trauma. Sandra works with clients who face overlapping challenges, such as chronic illness combined with anxiety or substance use, and focuses on practical steps toward clearer daily functioning.

Sandra uses straightforward, goal-oriented sessions. She helps people name their priorities, set small achievable steps, and practice skills between meetings. Her style blends empathy with active problem solving so sessions feel focused but supportive.

Her work draws on several approaches that match different needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take committed action even when emotions are difficult. Attachment-Based Therapy addresses how early relationships shape current patterns in close connections.

Sandra also integrates client-centered methods that put the person's experience at the center, and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when those skills are needed. She emphasizes practical skills for coping after a natural or human-caused disaster and for daily stressors that follow crises.

She offers services in English and accepts international clients. To begin, prospective clients use the Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How Sandra’s approaches translate to online therapy

Sandra commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT helps clients clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful actions even when feelings are intense. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like low mood or anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to choose or combine methods that fit their goals and daily life. Sandra adjusts techniques based on what a person needs and how they respond over time.

Confirm session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Many people appreciate online sessions because they can more easily fit therapy into busy schedules, have shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Online work can also make it simpler to practice skills in real-life settings and to maintain continuity of care after a disaster or during major life changes.
