About Sandra
Sandra Butler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC, LCPC) with 18 years of experience helping people find steadier ground. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about the things that feel overwhelming and begin to make practical changes.
She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, and depression. Sandra also addresses issues like abandonment, blended family strain, codependency, communication problems, infidelity, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Coping with natural or human-caused disaster is listed among her additional focus areas.
Her style is warm and collaborative. Sandra listens for patterns, helps people connect feelings to behavior, and works with clients to build clearer boundaries and healthier coping strategies. She aims for straightforward steps clients can try between sessions.
Sandra uses an integrative approach and draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She tailors sessions to each person's needs and, when wanted, can bring faith or spiritual beliefs into the conversation. The emphasis is on practical change rather than labels.
She encourages people who feel stuck or overwhelmed to reach out even if they don’t have everything figured out. The first sessions often focus on understanding what matters most to the client and identifying small, achievable goals to begin moving forward.
Practical evidence-based approaches for online support
Many of the techniques Sandra uses come from evidence-based therapeutic methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it can help with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete coping skills. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on short-term goal setting and small steps toward change, which is useful when people want quick, practical strategies for relationship or parenting concerns. Trauma-informed approaches pay attention to how past events affect current reactions and emphasize safety, pacing, and building coping resources for people recovering from distress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Sandra collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so sessions stay focused on what the client finds most helpful.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats currently offered before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow more flexible scheduling around work, childcare, or other commitments. It can also make brief check-ins or follow-up sessions simpler when someone needs a quick touchpoint between in-person visits. Ask about formats and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so you can choose what works best for your routine.
