About Sandra

Sandra Johnson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 22 years of clinical experience in Louisiana. She works with adults coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and relationship strain. Sandra also helps people who are managing parenting challenges, addiction concerns, mood and attention problems, and issues with intimacy and self-esteem.

Sandra uses a straightforward approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other methods to help people change unhelpful patterns. Sessions tend to focus on clear, practical steps that can be used between meetings.

Her background includes long-term work in mental health settings where she supported people through loss, post-traumatic stress, and complicated family problems. That experience informs how she talks through difficult emotions and builds coping skills with clients.

In sessions she may use elements of Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the client’s perspective, and she adds tools from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy when emotion regulation or distress tolerance is needed. Solution-Focused Therapy ideas are used to set small, achievable goals and measure progress.

Sandra encourages steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes. She asks practical questions about daily routines, relationships, and caregiving responsibilities. People seeking help with parenting strain, attachment concerns, compulsive behaviors, or adjusting to life changes may find this approach helpful.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the client’s concerns. It supports people in naming their priorities and exploring what matters most in their relationships and caregiving roles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses concrete exercises to reduce anxiety, depression, and problem behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides tools for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance, which can help when anger, impulsivity, or relationship conflicts are prominent.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sandra will work with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, needs, and day-to-day life. That collaboration helps shape session topics, homework, and pacing so progress is practical and measurable.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, school, or caregiving duties. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require being on camera when needed. Ask about current session options so you can choose what fits your schedule and comfort.
