About Sandra

Sandra West is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing relationship strains, trauma, mood challenges, and life transitions. She speaks plain language and focuses on practical steps that fit each person's daily life. Sandra aims to meet people where they are and help them move toward clearer goals and better coping.

Sandra draws on several therapy approaches to tailor care to each person's needs. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to look at emotional patterns that drive reactions in close relationships.

Background and approach

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to build coping skills, manage anxiety and depression, and shift unhelpful thinking. Her work often focuses on relationships and family concerns, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and major life changes. Sandra also addresses stress, addiction-related struggles, eating and sleeping difficulties, and caregiver strain.

She pays attention to attachment and issues like abandonment and codependency when those come up. Sandra has eight years of clinical experience and holds the LPC credential. Her practice is informed by approaches that emphasize emotions, values-based action, and practical skill-building.

Sessions aim to clarify what matters to the client and create doable next steps. Therapy is offered in English and is available through online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the Start Therapy button.

Online support

Emotionally focused and values-based care online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name the emotions that shape their reactions in close relationships. It focuses on understanding emotional bonds and changing unhelpful interaction patterns that cause pain.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify their values and take small, value-driven actions. ACT teaches ways to accept difficult thoughts while committing to chosen behaviors that lead toward a meaningful life.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonding and attachment patterns affect current relationship behavior. It can help people see why they react a certain way and practice new responses that feel safer and more connected.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sandra will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. Sessions combine emotion-focused exploration with practical skill-building based on what the person wants to change.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. Video calls are useful for a more face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when video is not possible, and live chat or text messaging support shorter check-ins or ongoing notes between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into daily life.
