Sandra is extremely nice and down to earth. She listens to my concerns and offers solid advice on things I can do to relieve some of my anxiety without it feeling like homework or another task in my day to be completed. My situation is very complicated and she is breaking it down into smaller more manageable pieces rather than trying to tackle everything all at once which could easily overwhelm me.

Hi, I’m Sandra Smith, a compassionate and dedicated Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I earned my Master of Arts degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2018. I specialize in supporting adults navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief, generational trauma, life transitions, and the unique challenges that come with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
My approach is simple: create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can share your story, at your own pace, in your own way. I believe healing happens when we feel truly heard and understood.
In our sessions, I take a collaborative, client-centered approach. That means I listen attentively, help you identify areas of growth, and together we’ll set meaningful, personalized goals that support healing, empowerment, and lasting positive change.
I do this work because:
- I have seen firsthand the impact of generational trauma.
- I have a child with autism, which fuels my passion for advocating and providing mental health support for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities—a group often overlooked in the mental health world.
- My strong background in crisis counseling and intervention taught me how resilient people truly are, even in their hardest moments.
But outside of my professional role, I’m a regular person too! In my free time, you’ll find me crocheting, reading, cooking, spending time with family, or playing with my cats 🐾. I believe life is about balance, and I encourage my clients to discover the small joys that keep them grounded.
At the core, I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to heal, grow, and live their best life. If you’re ready to take that step, I’d be honored to walk alongside you in your journey.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
