About Sandra

Sandra Miramontes is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with ten years of clinical experience, licensed in Florida and Tennessee. She works with adults on concerns such as relationship issues, anxiety, depression, stress, grief, addiction, parenting worries, and intimacy-related struggles. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Sandra adapts her approach to what a person brings to therapy rather than using a single method for everyone.

She draws on several practical approaches to help people change patterns that began in their family of origin. In session she tends to focus on thoughts, behaviors, and the ways people relate to others. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thinking, and acceptance and commitment therapy to help clarify values and take action. Attachment-based ideas are brought in to look at how early bonds influence current relationships.

Sandra described earlier academic training that included a Master of Science degree in Counseling and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. She now combines that education with a decade of practice helping adults from different cultural backgrounds. That experience shapes how she listens and guides conversations about connection, boundaries, and trust.

Her work often centers on spotting repeated family patterns and learning new ways to respond. In practical terms that can mean practicing communication skills, learning emotion regulation techniques from DBT, or setting manageable steps toward relationship goals. The emphasis is on clear, concrete change rather than long theory-heavy sessions.

Approaches used in online sessions

Sandra commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small, practical steps toward those values. ACT focuses on accepting difficult thoughts while committing to meaningful behavior changes and can help with anxiety, depression, and recurring relationship patterns.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how early bonds shape adult relationships. This work involves identifying patterns of closeness, distance, and trust so people can try different ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another tool she brings in to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and routines that feed distress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what works. That means sessions may include skill practice, talking through difficult moments, and setting concrete steps between meetings.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking, because formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Ask about current session options to see how they would fit into everyday life.
