About Sandra
Sandra Grace Martinez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and ADHD-related concerns. She uses direct, practical support and meets people where they are. Sandra aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and respectful.
Sandra brings 14 years of clinical experience to her work. She shapes sessions around what each person needs and prefers. Conversations focus on concrete strategies for day-to-day challenges as well as deeper patterns that affect mood and relationships.
Background and approach
Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, addictions, anger, intimacy and relationship difficulties, eating and sleeping struggles, and coping with life changes. Sandra also addresses issues like caregiver stress, chronic illness, and body image in straightforward terms. Sandra draws on several approaches to guide treatment.
She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client's pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Attachment-Based work and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Jungian ideas are woven in when helpful.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and Sandra conducts work with adults from her base in Texas. She tailors pacing, homework, and coaching to each person so progress is practical and usable between sessions.
How Sandra’s Approaches Work Online
The practice uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's goals and pace. That means conversations focus on what matters most to the client and the therapist adjusts support to fit their needs.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is also used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT works well for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related focus challenges, and day-to-day coping skills because it breaks issues into clear steps and experiments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sandra will discuss what seems most useful and try methods collaboratively, adjusting based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. The choice of tools is flexible and revisited as progress is made.
Online sessions offer practical benefits for people with busy lives. Video calls let the therapist and client see facial cues and do longer therapy conversations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging support quick check-ins, brief coaching, and real-time reminders between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and daily routines.
