About Sandra
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 22 years of experience, Sandra Johnson focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns using practical therapy methods. She combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and other approaches to address current problems.
She prefers short, clear conversations about what is happening now. Sessions look at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that get in the way. She uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness to build coping skills.
Sandra works with a wide range of concerns including depression, grief, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, bipolar issues, ADHD, and coping with life changes. She also addresses attachment issues, body image, family problems, forgiveness, impulsivity, obsessions and compulsions, post-traumatic stress, and young adult issues.
Her style is direct and practical. She helps people notice what keeps problems in place and practices new ways of responding. Sessions may include skill practice, problem-focused planning, and brief behavioral experiments between meetings.
Sandra emphasizes that wellness is an ongoing process. She encourages a clear assessment of current functioning and collaborative goal setting. To begin, the site matching tool is used to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Approaches used in remote sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience. It lets the therapist follow what matters most to the client and supports clearer self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change patterns that keep distress going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferred ways of working, and current needs to decide what to try first. That collaborative planning may include mixing methods such as CBT skill-building with client-centered discussion and mindfulness practice.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy schedule by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They can also make it easier to practice mindfulness or behavioral experiments in everyday settings. Ask about which session formats are available when you complete the matching questionnaire.
