Sandra Johnson, LMFT, LPC

Sandra Johnson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 22 years of clinical experience in Louisiana. She works with adults coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and relationship strain. Sandra also helps people who are managing parenting challenges, addiction concerns, mood and attention problems, and issues with intimacy and self-esteem.

Sandra uses a straightforward approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other methods to help people change unhelpful patterns. Sessions tend to focus on clear, practical steps that can be used between meetings.

Her background includes long-term work in mental health settings where she supported people through loss, post-traumatic stress, and complicated family problems. That experience informs how she talks through difficult emotions and builds coping skills with clients.

In sessions she may use elements of Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the client’s perspective, and she adds tools from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy when emotion regulation or distress tolerance is needed. Solution-Focused Therapy ideas are used to set small, achievable goals and measure progress.

Sandra encourages steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes. She asks practical questions about daily routines, relationships, and caregiving responsibilities. People seeking help with parenting strain, attachment concerns, compulsive behaviors, or adjusting to life changes may find this approach helpful.
