About Sandra
Sandra Grace Martinez is a Texas Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 14 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and related struggles. She meets clients with calmness and respect and focuses on clear, practical steps that fit each person’s life. Sandra speaks English and Spanish and works to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and hopeful.
She uses a blend of approaches to match what each person needs. Conversations are shaped around the client’s goals and paced to avoid overwhelm. Sandra aims to make sessions feel like problem-solving time where people learn tools they can try between meetings.
Sandra draws on attachment-informed work to understand relationship patterns and how early connections affect current coping. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. When intense emotions are present, techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy offer skills for handling distress and improving emotional regulation.
Across issues like addictions, career stress, caregiving burden, body image, and coping with life changes, she focuses on concrete strategies and steady support. She offers help for concerns that often co-occur, such as ADHD, chronic illness, and grief, and frames treatment in manageable steps.
Sessions are tailored rather than one-size-fits-all. The therapist and client plan what to try next, review progress, and adjust the approach as needed. Sandra encourages people to take small, practical actions between sessions to build momentum toward their goals.
How Sandra’s Approaches Fit Online Work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice how they connect with others. It can be useful for intimacy-related worries, abandonment concerns, or trouble trusting others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsive reactions, useful for anger, mood swings, and distress tolerance.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sandra will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as progress is reviewed.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing meetings from different locations. It can also make shorter check-ins or focused skills work easier to schedule around a job or caregiving responsibilities. Licensed professionals adapt exercises, homework, and skill practice to work well in remote sessions, helping people apply new tools in day-to-day routines.
