Sandra actually made me cry during our first session by getting down to the root issue. However I still struggle because it’s only week 2. She definitely helps!
More about Sandra
- 8 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am licensed in Texas with 8 years of professional work experience. I have worked as a high school counselor for the past 9 years. Through my years working as a high school counselor I have worked with not only students, but family members, and staff as well. I have had the ability to help clients in areas such as anxiety, depression, self harm, trauma, eating disorders, self esteem issues, relationship issues, and career choices. Being a school counselor has given me the opportunity to work with a diverse group of counseling areas, and clients.
My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, existential, and interpersonal therapy. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

My therapist rocks!! She is solid!
Sandra actually made me cry during our first session by getting down to the root issue. However I still struggle because it’s only week 2. She definitely helps!
I always knew I needed to talk to someone, needed help but was always worried to be judge or to think it would be weird and awkward. But Sandra made me feel so safe that I opened up on some really deep wounds that I never shared with anyone. Thank you for listening and supporting me every day
I have really loved working with Sandra. She’s very insightful and really helps me navigate through my thoughts and feelings. She’s helping me to see myself differently and I’m extremely grateful.
I have had such a great first therapy experience with Sandra! She is very understanding, checks in on me if there has been a gap between appointments, is very compassionate and you can definitely tell she cares deeply for her clients and profession. I’m very happy I was matched with Sandra and I couldn’t have asked for a better therapist!
Good
She is great
She greeted me with open arms, and made me feel comfortable with every vulnerable thought I had. She never once judged me, and I’m glad I picked her as my therapist!
I've never used this app or even done therapy before but I can confidently say that after the few sessions I've had, I will keep doing it for a long time. After each session I feel that weight come off my chest and go about the rest of my day happier. Life can be really difficult at times but it's always better after talking to Sandra. I look forward to every session with her and it is the highlight of my week. I ABSOLUTELY would recommend her to anyone! Be happy <3
Sandra is exceptional. She listens and truly understands what concerns you express and find ways to guide you that are very easy to understand and accomplish. Couldn't recommend more. I have been with quite a number of therapists and none have understood me the way she does.
She's a wonderful Therapist very attentive, compassionate and gives a different look on things.
After speaking with her a few times, I felt that she had known me for years. She is very intuitive.
Sandra is such a great listener. She is able to point out a few words and elaborate on what I am feeling. She suggests multiple ways to see things and is empathetic. I really enjoy our conversations. I am able to be emotional and even cry without feeling like I'm a burden. She also shares some of her life experiences that help me see things differently.
Sandra has been great to work with. She listens, has good insight to offer and challenges me in ways that will help me grow for a long time to come. Highly recommended!
Sandra is very kind, understanding and supportive.
Very dependable therapists. Highly recommend.
Sandra has been really helpful to me. As a therapy newbie, she's make me feel extremely comfortable and has worked hard to help me build trust in her. Would recommend.
So far I have enjoyed talking to her, our conversations gives me calm. I recommend her.
Sandra is very kind and she always replies back whenever I message. She also listens and tries to tell me things in a nice way. She is very soft spoken and encourages me always to do the right thing.
Sandra is very good at making you feel loved and calm. She has a motherly element to her demeanour that makes you want to go to her with all of your problems.
Sandra is extremely helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed talking to her.
i like working with Sandra. She listens to my concerns and offers good advice. Sometimes, I just need someone to help me to calm down my anxiety and worries. She is good at that. She does not just agree to what she might think that I want to hear, she listens and offers practical advice that I can actually consider as feasible to help with whatever situation. I am glad that I selected her. I actually chose her because of her ability to work with young people, her understanding, her bilingualism, and cultural background that could help me understand part of what I am going through. I have even recommended her and BetterHelp to others!
Sandra has done an incredible job of working hard to understand my family dynamics and background in order to provide me with the best possible therapeutic experience. I am so grateful for her!
Sandra quickly understood what my goals were, and artfully expanded my understanding of the situation I was trying to navigate. She was attentive and responded quickly even on the weekend when my circumstances changed and I reached out. I'm glad I was matched with her.
I think she’s the best therapist I’ve had! Very intelligent and easy to talk to
