Sandra Grace Martinez

Sandra Grace Martinez is a licensed professional counselor in Texas who helps people facing anger, stress, anxiety, trauma, and depression. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to create a respectful, sensitive space. Sandra encourages anyone who’s taken the first step toward help to feel proud of that choice.

Sandra shapes conversations and plans to fit each person's needs. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings. She pays attention to how past relationships and life events affect current behavior and feelings.

Her approach draws on several methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and attachment-based ideas that look at relationship patterns. She also uses client-centered listening to make space for each person’s priorities. These methods are layered together to suit what each person brings to therapy.

With 14 years as an LPC, Sandra has worked across a range of concerns from addictions and bipolar mood issues to caregiving strain and chronic illness. She also supports people dealing with grief, career stress, body image, and parenting challenges. Her practice emphasizes clear goals and useful tools for daily life.

If someone wants to begin, Sandra asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. She offers a collaborative, goal-focused style and adjusts methods as needs change.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current emotional reactions and patterns. In online sessions this can help people notice repeated relationship dynamics and practice new ways of connecting and regulating strong feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with new behaviors. It often uses homework and short exercises that fit naturally into daily life, which works well in a virtual format.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Decisions about methods are made collaboratively and can shift as progress is made.

Confirm the session formats before booking, as specific online options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow quick check-ins between in-person visits, and permit quieter, shorter meetings when time is limited. People often appreciate being able to use tools and worksheets at home and then discuss them in the next session.
