About Chrisandra
Chrisandra Kovarek is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with 15 years of professional experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, depression, and issues around motivation and self-esteem. She also supports people facing grief, addiction, ADHD, and family-of-origin concerns.
In sessions she focuses on clear, practical conversation. She listens to what is happening now and looks at how family patterns and past experiences show up in daily life. She helps people notice habits that get in the way and practices small changes that can make routines more manageable.
Her approach draws on methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, client-centered techniques, and mindfulness. That gives her several ways to respond when someone struggles with anxiety, mood shifts, or relationship patterns.
She frames work as collaborative. Together with the person she sets goals and tries out strategies that fit their day-to-day life. Sessions often include talking through problems, practicing new skills, and checking what feels doable between meetings.
Chrisandra’s background in social work means she brings experience from a variety of settings over 15 years. She aims to be straightforward about options and to help people take the next practical step toward clearer thinking and steadier routines.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them while accepting difficult thoughts. It can help with anxiety, low motivation, and persistent negative thinking by clarifying what matters and practicing small actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. Sessions often include noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying new, specific behavioral experiments. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communicating under stress. It can help people manage intense feelings and reduce impulsive reactions. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs shift. Confirm which session formats are offered before you book, as the biography does not specify current format options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Ask about the specific session options available so you can pick what fits your routine.Areas of expertise
