Saundra Green , LMFT

Saundra Green is a California licensed marriage and family therapist with more than 16 years of experience as a psychotherapist who has more recently integrated life coaching into her practice. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), she draws on years of clinical work to support people facing anxiety, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, career transitions, and other life changes.

She has developed a particular interest in helping singles who feel discouraged by online dating and who are navigating the impact of social media on relationships. That focus complements her broader work with families, intimacy-related issues, anger, fatherhood concerns, multicultural and discrimination-related struggles, and issues common to young adults and women. Her practice also addresses abandonment and some personality-related challenges when appropriate.

Saundra authored the book Clarity, 7 Steps From Getting Unstuck to Taking Action early in the pandemic, and she offers it as a resource for people seeking direction. Her therapeutic style is described as warm and interactive, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She avoids stigmatizing labels and prefers to tailor conversations and treatment plans to each person’s unique needs, drawing on cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and rational-emotive approaches alongside coaching techniques. Saundra frames the work as a collaborative process and supports clients who are ready to take steps toward greater clarity and meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Saundra Green works with several evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and commit to actions that move them toward a meaningful life - it can help with anxiety, life transitions, and decisions about relationships and career. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns from early relationships and how those patterns affect current connections, which is useful for addressing intimacy-related concerns, parenting challenges, and relationship rebuilding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, often providing practical tools for coping with anxiety, anger, and everyday stressors.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Saundra collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances, adapting techniques over time so therapy stays relevant and responsive.

Online therapy with Saundra is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access care from different locations within California. These options support continuity of care, flexibility in scheduling, and the ability to choose the format that feels most comfortable for the client and therapist.
