About Mirta
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of experience, Mirta Z. Sandoval helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, depression, addictions, relationship and self-esteem issues, bipolar concerns, and coping with life changes. She is a military veteran who served in the United States Air Force both stateside and overseas.
Mirta draws on straightforward, person-focused methods to address immediate problems and longer-term patterns. Sessions focus on what a person is facing now and on practical steps they can try between meetings. She uses approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among others listed in her practice.
Her background in the social sciences and years of clinical work inform how she listens and plans treatment. She has worked with a wide range of people and with issues that include trauma, substance use, and relationship difficulties. Mirta notes cultural sensitivity as an important part of how she practices.
In the room she adjusts methods to the presenting concern. For some people that means problem-solving and brief strategies. For others it means deeper conversations about meaning, values, and long-standing patterns. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques may be used to support change.
Mirta asks new clients to try counseling with an open mind and to decide afterward if it fits. She frames the work as collaborative and practical, focusing on clear goals and steps. To begin, clients follow the online intake and schedule a first session through the service buttons provided.

How Mirta applies key approaches in remote care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people reflect on what matters to them. In practice this means the therapist follows the client's lead and supports their own problem-solving and insight. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons for change and can be useful when ambivalence about substance use or behavior change is present.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan with the client. This is a collaborative process that combines what the client wants to achieve with methods that can produce small, testable steps between sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people choose sessions that match their energy and focus level, for example a phone check-in when video would be tiring, or a full session when more interaction is helpful. Licensed professionals can use these options to align therapy with everyday life.
