About Sandra
Sandra Graham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Kentucky with 25 years of experience. She works with adults and young people who struggle with anger, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and relationship problems. Sandra also supports parents dealing with family stress and the ongoing strain of caregiving.
Her background includes work in a residential treatment center with children and adolescents ages 5 to 17 who had co-occurring disorders and behavioral or neurodevelopmental challenges. She has also provided services in outpatient community mental health and home-based counseling settings. That mix gives her experience across crisis, structured, and community care environments.
In sessions she treats anger as one of many life problems linked to stress, loss, trauma, or relationship strain. She uses practical, evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice patterns and make different choices. Attachment-based ideas guide work on how early relationships affect current reactions.
Sandra works from the view that the client understands their own story and brings strengths to the work. Therapy focuses on building skills for managing strong feelings, improving communication, and handling difficult situations more effectively. She also addresses issues such as addiction, parenting struggles, and family-of-origin problems.
Her long career means she brings experience with a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, bipolar disorder, chronic illness, adoption and foster care issues, and domestic violence related problems. Sessions are conducted in English and follow the licensing standards of Tennessee and Kentucky.
How Sandra uses ACT, CBT and attachment ideas online
Sandra draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them. ACT focuses on values and small, concrete actions that move someone toward a life they care about, which can be useful for anger tied to frustration or meaninglessness.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and to practice different responses. CBT breaks down situations into thoughts, feelings, and actions so someone can try new behaviors and test whether they work. Attachment-based ideas are used when patterns from early relationships show up as reactivity or fear in current connections.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sandra treats therapy as collaborative and will help clients pick methods that fit their goals and day-to-day life. She adapts techniques based on what people report is helpful and what feels manageable.
