About Sandra
Sandra Crisp is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing depression, addictions, grief, and trauma-related distress. She works with individuals who often have more than one concern at a time, and she focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. Sandra aims to help clients set clear goals and build a plan that fits their life.
Her approach draws on Somatic therapy alongside acceptance and commitment strategies and attachment-focused work.
Background and approach
Sessions combine talking with attention to how feelings show up in the body. Sandra also uses client-centered and cognitive behavioral ideas to help clients notice patterns and try new responses. Sandra has 13 years of clinical experience and holds the LPC credential.
She is licensed in Texas under TX LPC 87427 and provides services from that region. Sandra works with people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, body-image concerns, and grief as well as those living with personality or attachment struggles. In sessions she helps clients identify small, manageable steps.
Conversations are aimed at building coping skills, improving communication, and reducing symptoms that get in the way of daily life. She also supports people dealing with life transitions like aging, blended family stress, or cancer-related difficulties. Sandra accepts clients internationally and provides services in English.
She offers several session formats so people can match therapy to their schedule and needs. Her work is collaborative, and she helps people find the pace and methods that feel right for them.
How somatic and acceptance-based work translate online
Somatic work pays attention to how emotions show up in the body, such as tension, breath changes, or posture, and uses gentle awareness and movement to help regulate feelings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that move a person toward a meaningful life while learning to respond differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships, helping people notice how early connections shape current reactions and build more supported ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Together they decide whether to emphasize body-based noticing, values-driven steps, or relationship-focused work and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy makes these approaches more accessible. Video sessions allow for face-to-face observation of body responses and guided exercises. Phone, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexible ways to check in, practice skills between sessions, and get support when schedules are tight. These options help people maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into everyday life.
