I’ve just started with Sondra but I think she’s great. She’s very polite she listens and her feedback makes me think. After our last session she sent me some worksheets that went with how I was feeling. She also sends messages of encouragement a little push. So far so good lol

You are capable of achieving!, My name is Sondra McMillan-King, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 13 years of experience. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, family problems, behavioral challenges, abandonment/rejection, grief, past trauma, and suicidal/homicidal ideations.
I am currently pursuing a doctoral degree in Mental Health Counseling and Administration. I have has obtained graduate degrees in Business Administration, Clinical and Forensic Psychology. I utilize a client-centered approach (meaning that YOU are the expert on you) that will allow you to identify your own strengths and resources, as well as cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness-based therapeutic approaches.
My counseling style is warm and genuine. When working with my clients, it is my hope to create a safe, authentic, and inviting experience. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution- focused therapy. I will work with you to identify your treatment goals, develop a treatment plan, and come alongside you to provide support as you work towards accomplishing your goals. You are the expert in you and I use my skillset, experience and knowledge base that I have acquired over the past 13 years to work with you. I am available to meet with clients on Monday-Friday, between the hours of 5:30 pm-7:45 pm.
Taking the step to make changes in your life, to heal from past hurts and move towards a better future takes courage. You can do this! Just remember that it is a process and to be patient with yourself as you go through this process. The hardest step to take is making the decision to change. Change is possible and if you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I really enjoy my therapy sessions with you and I'm getting really good support. Thanks!
Empathetic, thoughtful, kind, caring. She enters into the darkness with you and helps pull you up out of it -- a rare and unique skill!
Sondra has been such a blessing to have in my life. She helped me through some really hard times and has honestly become a close friend. After leaving the platform for some time, I came back, in need of support and we just went right back into it. She remembered everything about me and previous conversations we’ve had and I couldn’t ask for a better therapist. Truly an amazing experience.
Sondra is fabulous! She encourages me and knows how to motivate me. Having a person to talk to about all my stressors that can provide guidance is great.
I am so glad to have found Sondra! She is a great listener and will give me practical steps to take!
She is a great match for my personality and I immediately felt comfortable sharing my situation with her. She shares her perspective and thoughts in a respectful manner and her advice is real and genuine. My first visit was a very positive experience!
I am glad I have Sondra as my LMHC. She has been such an inspiration to my journey to not feeling sad as much. I appreciate her professionalism, truth and quick response to all my messages. I am so thankful for the support and help I've found here on BetterHelp.
Sondra is a great listener and has honed in on my needs. She has also been encouraging throughout my sessions. She is wonderful!
Sondra is amazing! I would recommend her for anyone looking for a mature approach on therapy and bettering yourself.
Sondra has been a literal life savior. Finding a therapist is always hard. I’ve gone through a few bad apples myself and when you’re depressed, it’s a really hard journey to have to go through to find a new therapist. The first session I had with Sondra, I knew she was the one. Connecting with her is always a joy and at this point she feels more like a friend and I so appreciate her insights and care and her messages throughout the week. I completely and wholeheartedly recommend her! She’s the best!
Warm & genuine- how she describes her style and how she truly is. I spoke with Sondra to help me put of a rut, to get some forward motion going for myself and she was a perfect match to my needs. She helped me reinforce my strengths, abilities and acomplishments which is exactly what I needed.
I really enjoyed my time with Sondra. She was always compassionate and offered great advice. I’m grateful to have met her and have had a positive therapy experience with her.
Sondra is very kind, excellent listener and makes the patient feel very confortable. Would highly recommend her!
The actual BEST! Just talk and see.
Sondra's great! Details another time.
Sondra is a therapist who listens and helps you achieve the goals that YOU want to set for yourself. I immediately felt comfortable with her and I feel we utilize our time really well.
