About Sandra
Sandra Crisp is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Texas with 13 years of experience. She works with adults facing depression, grief, addictions, and trauma and abuse. Sandra also helps people who struggle with self-esteem and related concerns tied to relationships and life transitions.
She approaches counseling as a shared process. She helps clients name goals and develop clear action steps. Sessions focus on practical strategies and on understanding how earlier family roles and patterns influence present choices and relationships. Sandra uses straightforward tools to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.
Sandra draws on several evidence-based methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Those approaches are used to address mood, behavior, and relationship patterns that began in childhood and continue to affect adult life.
She has worked with people who face overlapping concerns, such as chronic illness paired with depression, grief alongside addiction, or ongoing attachment worries combined with low self-worth. In sessions she blends skills training, values-based work, and deeper attention to how early family dynamics shaped expectations and coping choices.
Her style is direct and practical. Clients can expect collaborative goal-setting, skill practice, and check-ins on progress between sessions. Sandra accepts international clients and conducts work in English for adults seeking help with family of origin patterns and their effects.
Approaches used in remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when old family patterns get in the way of making meaningful choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for depression, anxiety, and changing repetitive responses learned in childhood.
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to early relationship experiences and how they shape expectations and behavior in adult relationships. It can help people untangle family-of-origin patterns that affect intimacy and trust.
Sandra treats finding the right approach as a collaborative task. She will work with the client to decide which methods to emphasize based on goals, preferences, and how symptoms present. Adjustments are made as progress and needs become clearer.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with her about practical scheduling needs and which format would best fit day-to-day life.
