About Mirta
Mirta Z. Sandoval is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, grief, depression, addictions, and other life challenges.
She practices from Texas and offers sessions in English. She draws on a range of approaches and adapts them to each person's needs. Mirta keeps sessions practical and focused on what matters now.
She listens first, then helps set clear, manageable goals for change.
Background and approach
Her background includes military service in the United States Air Force, with time spent both stateside and overseas. That experience shaped her sense of structure and respect for different cultures. She uses that perspective to relate to people from many walks of life.
Mirta commonly uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses client-centered and solution-focused techniques to build on a person's strengths and identify small steps forward. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure or stuck about making changes.
Sessions are collaborative and down-to-earth. Mirta aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through painful events, past trauma, relationship trouble, or struggles with addiction. She helps people develop coping skills, rebuild self-esteem, and plan practical next steps.
If someone prefers online work, Mirta provides phone, video, live chat, and text-based messaging sessions. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability.

Approaches that work well online
Mirta uses client-centered methods that focus on the person in front of her and on what's important to them. This approach creates space to talk through events, feelings, and goals in a way guided by the client's pace and priorities.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. CBT offers concrete exercises and small experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting, useful for anxiety, anger, and mood concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mirta will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then shape a plan together. That collaborative process often combines methods so the work fits the client's situation and moves at a comfortable pace.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when less bandwidth is available or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for on-the-go updates, brief coaching, and ongoing encouragement between longer sessions. These options add flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or travel.
