Sandra Johnson , LMFT, LPC

Sandra Johnson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 22 years working in the mental health field. She approaches therapy with a holistic outlook, believing that life events contribute to the path toward greater well-being and that each person arrives at counseling with a meaningful story. Her dual licenses reflect training to support individuals, couples, and families through relational and personal challenges.

She works with a wide range of concerns that can interfere with everyday functioning, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, relationship and family problems, parenting difficulties, anger, addictions, intimacy-related issues, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and related mood and impulse challenges. Sandra uses cognitive-behavioral principles to explore how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another and integrates other strategies to match the needs of each person. Wellness is treated as an ongoing process, and she partners with clients at whatever stage they are in prevention, recovery, or change.

Sandra aims to create a supportive, person-centered environment where practical tools and compassionate guidance are offered to help clients move toward clearer goals and improved functioning. She welcomes the opportunity to collaborate with people ready to begin or continue their work toward well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Sandra Johnson draws from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as core methods in her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on providing empathic, nonjudgmental support so individuals and families can explore their values, relationships, and goals - it is especially helpful for improving communication, building self-understanding, and navigating relationship challenges. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress, offering practical strategies for managing symptoms and improving daily functioning.

She also incorporates elements of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) when clients need skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - DBT can be valuable for managing intense emotions and impulsive behaviors. Sandra works collaboratively with each person to determine which approaches fit best, tailoring techniques to the client’s goals, preferences, and stage in the change process so therapy remains a shared effort.

Online sessions make it possible to access licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for varied schedules and life demands. These formats help reduce barriers to care, allow continuity during life transitions, and let clients choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward meaningful change with a therapist.
