About Suandria
Suandria Houston is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who helps people handle stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, low self-esteem, parenting challenges, and life transitions. She writes plainly and listens closely to understand each person's situation.
Background and approach
Suandria affirms that clients are the experts in their own stories and builds on existing strengths to move forward. She blends practical strategies with relationship-focused tools to address day-to-day problems.
Sessions often include skills for managing anxious thoughts and habits, communication techniques for strained relationships, and steps to rebuild trust after hurt. Suandria uses mindfulness practices to help people stay present when emotions feel overwhelming.
Her approach centers on the client's goals and lived experience. She uses elements of the Gottman Method along with client-centered and cognitive behavioral therapy ideas to shape each plan.
That means conversations that follow what matters most to the client while also introducing doable skills to try between sessions. With ten years of experience, Suandria draws on a multicultural perspective to recognize how culture, race, religion, and family background affect personal and relationship concerns.
She supports people navigating blended family issues, infidelity, codependency, communication problems, and midlife transitions. Sessions are offered in English and are available online to international clients.
Suandria describes therapy as a collaborative process - she listens first, then helps clients set clear, realistic steps toward change.
How relationship tools and online formats work together
Suandria frequently uses elements of the Gottman Method to address communication problems and rebuild connection after conflict. That approach focuses on practical communication skills, managing conflict without escalation, and increasing positive interactions between people.She also employs client-centered therapy, which means she follows the client's concerns and priorities while offering empathic listening and support. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques appear in sessions to help identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors that reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Suandria collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, values, and pace. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans based on what helps most.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible options. Video calls are useful when visual cues and longer conversation are needed. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging offer quick touchpoints and ongoing support between calls. These choices make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and different time zones.
