About Sandra
Sandra Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Louisiana with 22 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, trauma and abuse, and anger. Sandra also addresses relationship and parenting challenges and helps with mood and attention concerns.
Her approach starts with looking at patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that keep problems going. She uses cognitive-behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also brings in client-centered methods, mindfulness, DBT skills, and solution-focused tools when they fit the issue.
Sessions are practical and focused on what someone needs right now. Sandra helps people build skills for managing impulsivity, strong emotions, and relationship conflicts. She supports work on issues like attachment, forgiveness, body image, and obsessive or compulsive behaviors as they come up.
She frames treatment as an ongoing process rather than a single fix. Sandra helps people assess where they are, set concrete goals, and try small changes that make daily life easier. Her work addresses both immediate coping and longer-term patterns.
People meet her to reduce reactivity, handle resentment, manage stress at work, or cope with someone else’s difficult behavior. She aims to give clear tools and steady support so people can make calmer choices and improve how they relate to others.
How Sandra uses evidence-based approaches online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps people feel understood and decide which goals to work on first. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, angry reactions, or unhelpful behavior patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sandra will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try based on their goals and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and shifting course if needed so the plan fits the person's life.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people practice new skills between sessions and keep progress moving forward.
