About Sandra
Sandra Alvidrez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with ten years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, eating concerns, anger, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Sandra speaks English and Spanish and accepts international clients.
She focuses on everyday skills that help reduce reactivity and improve communication. Sessions often look at patterns that lead to outbursts or simmering resentment. Sandra outlines practical steps for building steadier responses and clearer conversations.
Her approach pulls from client-centered work and evidence-informed techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. This means sessions combine listening with concrete exercises and practice. Clients learn tools to notice triggers, shift unhelpful thoughts, and practice different ways of responding.
Sandra also uses solution-focused strategies to set short-term goals. That keeps sessions action-oriented when people need quick changes at work or home. She pays attention to cultural background and women’s issues when those are relevant to the client’s concerns.
People who come to her can expect a collaborative and practical style. The emphasis is on building skills, improving communication, and increasing self-understanding. To begin, clients complete a brief questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says. Online sessions use that same attentive listening to help people name their triggers and understand patterns that lead to anger.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. In online sessions this often means identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and practicing new responses between meetings. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, adds skills for handling intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills translate well to short practical exercises and worksheets done between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sandra will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and daily life. That choice can change as progress is made, and sessions often mix approaches to match what helps most.

Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce commute time. Many people find that doing skills practice and brief between-session exercises fits neatly into a day when therapy is offered remotely.
