About Sandra

Sandra Miramontes is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She works with individuals facing trauma, grief, addiction, parenting strain, and career transitions.

Background and approach

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and focus on practical steps people can use between meetings. Sandra adapts each session to the problem someone brings.

She mixes conversation with hands-on exercises so clients learn new ways to respond to strong emotions and difficult situations. Her approach draws from several well-known therapies to match each person's goals and needs.

With a Master of Science degree in Counseling and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, Sandra brings ten years of clinical experience. She has worked with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds and tailors methods to individual life stories.

Her license is LMFT and she holds licensure in Florida and Tennessee. Typical work includes addressing attachment struggles, communication problems, low self-esteem, and intimacy-related issues.

She also supports people managing chronic illness, caregiver stress, and grief. Sessions aim to build clearer communication, steadier emotion regulation, and workable daily routines.

Sandra uses tools from approaches such as the Gottman Method, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and cognitive behavioral techniques. The focus is on clear goals and small changes that make daily life more manageable.

New clients begin by completing a short questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

Therapeutic approaches for online work

Sandra uses the Gottman Method to help people strengthen communication and reduce destructive interaction patterns. The Gottman approach centers on specific exercises and tools that improve day-to-day conversations and emotional connection.

She also draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that align with those values while learning to accept difficult feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to identify how early relationship patterns affect current responses and to practice new ways of relating that feel safer and more reliable.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sandra will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they adjust methods over time so sessions match changing needs and progress.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face work and certain exercises, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat provide quick check-ins or brief homework support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and keep continuity when schedules change.
