About Sandra

Sandra Graham is a licensed counselor with 25 years of experience supporting people through major life challenges. She approaches each person with respect and calm, listening first to understand their story. Many who contact her are dealing with grief, anxiety, parenting questions, or substance concerns and want practical steps forward.

She has worked in residential treatment settings with children and adolescents and in outpatient and home-based counseling. That background means she is familiar with complex situations like co-occurring disorders, behavioral struggles, and attachment concerns. She also has experience with adoption and foster care dynamics and blended family stress.

Sandra uses several therapy methods to match what each person needs. She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take workable actions. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to break unhelpful thinking patterns and attachment-based ideas to address relationship wounds.

Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Sandra aims to build on strengths clients already have while teaching simple tools for coping with anxiety, depression, anger, and life transitions. She supports people facing parenting strain, family conflict, addiction, and the fallout from trauma or loss.

She is licensed as an LPC and as an LPCC and practices in Tennessee. If you want a therapist who listens, offers straightforward tools, and helps you set manageable goals, she may be a good fit.

How Sandra’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions by focusing on values and practical steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and introduces simple strategies to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing stress with clear exercises to practice between sessions.

Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns and how early connections affect current reactions. It can help with parenting struggles, relationship difficulties, and attachment-related wounds.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Sandra will work with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences in a collaborative way. Together they’ll try techniques, check what helps, and adjust the plan over time.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can practice new skills between sessions. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for your routine and technology comfort.
