About Sandra

Sandra Graham, LPC, LPCC offers a calm, steady presence for people facing a range of life stresses. She draws on 25 years of clinical work to help individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, ADHD, and relationship struggles. Sandra writes plainly and listens closely, helping clients name the problem and try manageable steps forward.

Her background includes work in a residential treatment center with children and adolescents ages 5 to 17 who had co-occurring disorders and neurodevelopmental challenges. She has also provided outpatient community mental health and home-based counseling services. That variety has shaped a practical, flexible approach to care.

Sandra uses several evidence-informed methods to guide sessions, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. She focuses on helping people notice their strengths, practice useful skills, and make choices that match their values.

Parents who are worried about behavioral issues, attachment concerns, or managing family stress will find straightforward strategies rather than long lectures. Sandra also helps with trauma, addiction, parenting strain, and chronic health challenges by breaking problems into doable steps.

She is licensed in Tennessee and Kentucky and works in English. If a parent or caregiver wants to begin, Sandra invites them to take the first step and begin a low-pressure match process to schedule sessions.

Step 3

Approaches that translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, listening-first stance so clients feel heard and find their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then try approaches that seem to fit. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps the client make steady progress.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a workday or family routine, let them avoid travel, and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. Others appreciate that online work can make it simpler to involve different caregivers or coordinate with existing services. The therapist will discuss practical scheduling and how sessions can fit into ordinary life during the match process.
