Mirta Z. Sandoval, LPC

Mirta Z. Sandoval is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 15 years of experience in the social sciences. She has served in the United States Air Force and brings that background to her counseling work. Mirta helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, depression, addictions, relationship concerns, self-esteem struggles, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.

Her approach is practical and adjusted to each person's needs. She draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Existential Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to shape sessions that fit the situation. Mirta aims to be empathetic, caring, and open-minded in the room.

Sessions focus on clear goals and real-life habits that make daily life easier. She talks through thoughts, patterns, and choices with clients and works toward steps that can reduce distress. For people facing addiction, relationship trouble, or repeated shame and guilt, she emphasizes manageable changes and forward movement.

Mirta also pays attention to cultural context and to how life roles and past experiences affect daily coping. She invites people to test counseling for themselves and decide if it feels right. The work is collaborative and paced to each person's comfort level.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person's own goals. It helps when someone needs a steady, accepting space to talk through emotions and clarify what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress where concrete habit changes help.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That may mean mixing elements from different approaches and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time. It also lets people keep therapy consistent during life changes. Licensed professionals aim to adapt tools and exercises so progress continues even when not meeting in person.
