About Sandra
Sandra Graham is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, licensed in Tennessee and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, LPCC, licensed in Kentucky. She has 25 years of experience working across residential treatment, outpatient community mental health, and home-based counseling. Her practice addresses addictions, family and parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, stress, and related issues.
Sandra draws on direct experience with children and adolescents in residential treatment centers and with people in community settings. She focuses on practical help for everyday problems like communication breakdowns, caregiver stress, blended family tensions, and dealing with grief or loss. She also has worked with clients facing substance use, bipolar disorder, chronic illness, and ADHD.
Her approach is straightforward and person-centered. Sandra uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-focused work, and mindfulness to help people handle difficult feelings and make clearer choices. Sessions tend to focus on learning small skills, noticing patterns, and trying manageable changes between meetings.
She often helps people sort family of origin issues, abandonment and attachment concerns, and the stress of parenting or caregiving. This includes support for those coping with divorce, foster care or adoption histories, and the practical strains that come with mixed households.
People seeking a working relationship with an experienced counselor will find a therapist who emphasizes collaboration and clear steps forward. To begin, the usual route is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How sessions work
Approaches used online and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that matter, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It teaches skills for managing worry, low mood, and anger through behavior change and thought work.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how they affect current connections. It can help with abandonment concerns, communication problems, and repeated relationship conflicts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sandra will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. She uses the client’s feedback and progress to adjust focus and try different techniques as needed.
Confirm the specific session formats before scheduling, because the biography does not list particular options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions are more practical for parents and caregivers. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively in remote sessions while tailoring pace and tools to everyday life.
