About Sandra
Sandra Crisp helps people who are dealing with depression, grief, addictions, and the aftermath of trauma. She writes clear goals with each person and focuses on everyday thoughts and habits that get in the way. Sandra brings a calm, direct style to sessions so people can make steady changes.
Her practice pays attention to how problems often come together. Many clients face more than one issue at a time, such as chronic illness with anxiety or grief with substance use. Sandra works with those overlapping concerns rather than treating each problem separately.
She uses a mix of practical talk therapy approaches aimed at changing unhelpful thinking and building new habits. Sessions often include gentle tracking of thoughts, practicing new coping skills, and setting small, achievable goals to try between meetings.
Sandra has 13 years of experience and holds the LPC credential, licensed in Texas. Her background includes work with people living with chronic medical conditions and those coping with loss or major life transitions. That experience shapes how she frames problems and options in simple, usable terms.
Clients can expect a collaborative approach. Sandra asks about daily routines, relationships, and what matters most, then helps plan steps that fit real life. The focus is on practical change in thoughts and everyday habits so people can move toward a life they value.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It helps with depression, grief, and patterns that keep people stuck by training practical habits and committed steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches skills to test and change unhelpful thinking. CBT is often used for depression and anxiety and for building everyday routines that feel doable.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, what has helped before, and which methods feel most comfortable. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as needs change.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn't needed. It can also allow people to keep consistent work on thoughts and habits from wherever they are, while the clinician guides practice, homework, and progress tracking.
