About Sandra
Sandra Crisp is an LPC based in Texas who helps people facing depression, grief, addictions, and trauma. She speaks plainly and focuses on real goals you can act on. Sessions are practical and geared toward day-to-day coping and recovery.
Sandra works with people who often bring several problems at once, such as chronic illness combined with stress or mood struggles. She helps identify priorities and build a step-by-step plan. The work is collaborative - she listens, reflects, and offers tools that fit each person's life.
Her approach draws from therapies that focus on thoughts, behavior, and relationships. That can mean learning skills to manage intense emotions, practicing new ways of relating, or clarifying values to guide choices. Sandra adapts methods to the situation rather than using a single fixed method.
Over 13 years she has treated a wide range of concerns including caregiver stress, cancer-related challenges, chronic pain and disability, attachment and abandonment issues, and communication or commitment struggles. Her experience includes supporting people after natural or human-caused disasters.
Sandra emphasizes practical steps you can try between sessions. She helps people build routines, handle setbacks, and notice progress. The goal is to make problems more manageable and help people move toward a life that matters to them.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values. It is useful when someone feels stuck or uncertain about next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for depression, anxiety, and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sandra will discuss your goals and preferences and work with you to choose methods that suit your needs. That collaborative process lets you try different techniques and keep what helps most.
