About Sandra
Sandra Crisp is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing depression, grief, addictions, and trauma. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps to reduce distress and regain a sense of control. Sessions emphasize setting clear goals and building small, doable changes. Sandra presents herself as a steady guide rather than an authority who tells people what to do.
She draws on a mix of approaches to fit each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are taught to manage intense emotions and improve day-to-day coping. Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods help people feel heard and understood while they sort out relationship patterns.
People often come with overlapping concerns, such as chronic illness alongside depression or addiction combined with trauma. Sandra focuses on how those problems interact and builds plans that address multiple issues at once. She works step by step so progress feels manageable.
Her practice aims to help clients build concrete tools for everyday life. That can include communication strategies, relapse prevention steps, or routines that support mood and energy. The tone is collaborative and practical, with attention to what a person can realistically try between sessions.
With 13 years of experience in mental health work, Sandra brings steady clinical judgment and a problem-solving approach. Prospective clients should use the continue button on this profile to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to small actions that align with their values. It is often used when someone feels blocked by worry, avoidance, or low mood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical behavior changes to shift mood and functioning. It is helpful for depression, anxiety, and problems that involve repetitive negative thoughts. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for regulating emotions and improving stress tolerance, which can help when feelings feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining techniques from different approaches and adjusting as progress is made.
Confirm the session formats before booking because none were specified in the biography. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make scheduling across time zones or during work breaks more practical. Many people find that working with a licensed professional online still allows focused, skill-building work and clear action steps to use between sessions.
