About Twyla
Twyla Sanks is an LMHC based in Florida who helps people manage anger alongside stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and life transitions. She offers straightforward guidance and practical steps people can use between sessions. Her approach is warm but direct, aimed at clear progress rather than vague talk.
With nine years of clinical counseling experience, she draws on methods that focus on the person in front of her. Sessions tend to be goal-oriented and action-focused, with room to process difficult emotions safely.
Background and approach
Twyla simplifies complex feelings into manageable steps people can try right away. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen deeply and shape work around each person’s goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that feed anger and anxiety.
She also uses EMDR for trauma-related distress when that approach seems helpful. Twyla’s background includes school-based counseling and mentoring newer clinicians. That experience informs a practical style that values clear tools and steady skill building.
People who prefer direct feedback and concrete strategies often find her style useful. Her work covers a wide range of concerns such as parenting stress, career difficulties, compassion fatigue, and issues tied to health challenges like cancer or hospice-related care. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelming reactions and restore a sense of control in daily life.

Approach-driven online care that fits your life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and tailoring the work to each person’s goals, helping people feel heard and understood while they set the pace of change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems like anger and anxiety going, providing clear exercises to practice between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) addresses trauma-related distress by using structured processing to reduce the intensity of painful memories.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods are likely to help given their goals and comfort level. That collaboration means plans can shift over time as progress is made or needs change.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals and include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into work breaks, caregiving schedules, or travel without losing continuity of care.
