Sandra Sunter , LMHC

Sandra Sunter is a Florida-licensed LMHC with 37 years of professional experience as a mental health counselor. LMHC stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor, a credential that reflects advanced training in assessment and psychotherapy.

Sandra has extensive experience helping people navigate grief and loss, the emotional and practical challenges of caregiving, end-of-life issues, and coping with serious illness. She also supports clients working on motivation, self-esteem and confidence, depression, and adapting to life changes. Her background includes long-term practice with individuals facing transition and loss, and she brings that perspective to each therapeutic relationship.

Sandra works to foster an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared freely. She recognizes the courage it takes to pursue a more fulfilling and happier life, and she frames therapy as a collaborative process that supports and empowers people as they take first steps toward change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Sandra draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed action - an approach that can help with grief, depression, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, empathetic relationship in which the therapist listens deeply and reflects the client's experience, supporting growth in self-esteem and confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for depression, anxiety, and stress-related challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sandra collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust strategies as the work progresses to ensure the best possible fit.

Online therapy with Sandra is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Working remotely makes it easier for people balancing caregiving, health concerns, or busy routines to access licensed professionals and therapists without traveling, while preserving continuity of care across life changes.
