About Saundra
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 23 years of experience. Saundra Rankin helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. She also works with concerns related to grief, intimacy, sleep, anger, career strain, bipolar mood issues, compassion fatigue, and LGBT matters.
Rankin treats people as the experts on their own lives. She listens to each person’s story and highlights strengths they can use to manage difficult moments. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps rather than abstract theory. The approach is straightforward and goal-oriented, using techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors.
In a typical meeting she talks through current problems, helps set concrete goals, and practices skills you can apply between sessions. Homework and repetition are common so new ways of coping become habits. She pays attention to how stress and mood affect sleep, work, and relationships, and links small changes to better daily functioning.
Her work is anchored in real-world problem solving. Expect direct feedback, skills practice, and collaborative planning. The emphasis is on usable strategies that fit a person’s life and commitments.
To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location.

How CBT fits into online sessions and practical benefits
CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In plain terms, the therapist helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and practices alternative ways of thinking and acting. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing mood fluctuations.Sessions also include skill-building and problem-solving. That means learning specific tools such as activity scheduling, thought records, and behavioral experiments. These tools are useful for stress management, relationship issues, and improving daily routines.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to decide whether CBT techniques suit their goals and will adjust methods as needed. Clients and the therapist review what works and what needs changing over time.
Confirm current session formats before booking, since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills between sessions in the settings where problems occur. Discuss format options during the matching and scheduling process to find what fits daily life.
