About Sandra
Dr. Sandra Smith is a licensed clinical social worker with 24 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, self esteem struggles, relationship pain, and life transitions. She works with individuals dealing with trauma, grief, addiction, parenting strain, sleep and eating concerns, and career questions. She also supports people managing ADHD, bipolar concerns, compassion fatigue, and complex family issues.
She approaches therapy in a warm, interactive way and treats people with respect and compassion. Sessions focus on understanding each person’s story and the specific problems they want to change. Dr. Smith encourages clients to guide the pace and goals of work together.
Her background includes counseling, coaching, and teaching at both undergraduate and graduate levels. She has practiced in trauma-focused agencies, hospitals including emergency and NICU settings, crisis teams, and correctional facilities where she worked as a primary clinician for inmates with moderate to severe mental health needs. Those experiences shaped her ability to work with strong feelings and high-stress situations.
Dr. Smith uses a broad, holistic view when helping people. She looks at history, relationships, health, work, and the practical parts of daily life that influence wellbeing. Her methods draw from cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, acceptance-based work, client-centered care, and trauma-focused approaches.
She offers services in English and Spanish and welcomes inquiries from international clients. To begin, prospective clients follow the provider’s matching process and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.
