Sandra Myers, LCSW

Sandra Myers is a licensed clinical social worker based in Louisiana who uses practical, evidence-influenced methods to help people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She blends clear problem-solving with a warm, nonjudgmental presence so people can feel heard and start making small changes that matter.

Sandra draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize each person’s experience and DBT skills to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are added when they fit a person’s goals.

In sessions she focuses on everyday concerns: improving sleep, managing anger, handling grief, and strengthening self-esteem. She also supports people facing trauma, compassion fatigue, ADHD, intimacy issues, career stress, and parenting struggles. Sandra pays attention to how life stage and health problems affect coping skills.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She helps people set realistic goals, practice new skills between sessions, and check progress in simple ways. Conversation is direct but kind, with an emphasis on what works in daily life.

Sandra has eight years of experience as an LCSW and uses that background to tailor approaches to each person. She aims to help clients build tools they can use after therapy ends and to regain a sense of control and direction.

How CBT and Skills-Based Therapy Work Online

Sandra commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions often include setting concrete goals, trying specific exercises between sessions, and reviewing what worked to reduce anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful habits.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy ideas to teach practical emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. DBT-style techniques can help with intense emotions, relationship challenges, and building steadier daily routines. Client-centered work guides the conversation so the therapist follows the person’s priorities while offering feedback and structure.

Choosing the right blend of approaches is part of the work together. Sandra will talk through options, try strategies, and adjust based on the client’s goals and preferences. This collaborative process helps find what fits the person’s life and what produces usable results.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for in-depth sessions, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, practice skills in real time, and keep momentum between appointments.
