About Sandra
Sandra Myers is a Louisiana-based licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who uses a compassionate, person-centered way of working. She focuses on clear, practical help for parents and adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life changes. Sandra aims to make sessions feel approachable and down-to-earth.
She draws from client-centered therapy to listen deeply and help people name their priorities. Cognitive behavioral tools are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new habits.
Background and approach
Dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness techniques are offered when emotions feel overwhelming. Sandra sees many concerns related to relationships and life roles, such as intimacy challenges, communication problems, and the strain that caregiving can bring. She also addresses sleep and eating struggles, career stress, compassion fatigue, and the challenges of parenting.
Her work includes attention to neurodiversity and co-occurring conditions like ADHD and bipolar when they are relevant. Sessions are aimed at practical change as well as emotional support. Conversations include goal setting, skills practice, and real-world problem solving.
Motivational interviewing is used to help people find the reasons behind change and stay committed to steps they choose. With eight years of practice, Sandra combines steady support with active strategies. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental, focused on helping people find clearer direction and greater confidence in day-to-day life.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Client-centered therapy puts the person's goals first and means sessions begin with careful listening and collaboration. Sandra uses this approach to help someone clarify what matters most and plan small, achievable steps toward that goal. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful thinking patterns and build routines that improve mood and behavior.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Sandra will discuss options and try methods that match a person's needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made based on what helps most in day-to-day life.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for skill practice, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to send updates, get brief coaching, or check in between sessions. These formats let people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep continuity of care even when life is unpredictable.
