About Sandra
Sandra Grace Martinez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people who are struggling with anger as well as stress, anxiety, and depression. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make first steps feel manageable for someone feeling overwhelmed. Sandra approaches work with respect and sensitivity.
She adapts conversations and plans to each person's situation instead of using the same script for everyone. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on realistic steps a person can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Her practice draws on attachment-based ideas that look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new routines. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are added when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are priorities.
Clients commonly bring concerns such as trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep and eating struggles, career stress, and coping with life changes. Sandra also supports people facing ADHD-related challenges, compassion fatigue, and substance issues, tailoring work to each concern. With 14 years of experience, Sandra combines a practical focus with an exploratory stance informed by Jungian and client-centered work.
She encourages small, concrete experiments and regular check-ins on progress so people can see what helps and what needs adjusting. People interested in working with her can expect straightforward conversation, goal-focused planning, and a willingness to adapt methods to fit real-life demands.

Using practical approaches in online therapy
Attachment-based work looks at patterns that developed in early relationships and how those patterns show up now. In online sessions this helps people notice recurring reactions and try new ways of connecting or saying no. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress; it is useful for anxiety, anger, and mood struggles. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance for times when feelings feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sandra will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day reality. That means adjusting skills, the pace of change, and session focus as progress is tracked together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging work well for brief updates, homework review, or when writing feels more comfortable than speaking.
