About Mirta
Mirta Z. Sandoval is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience helping people facing anxiety, stress, depression, and trauma. She is a military veteran and has worked in both stateside and overseas settings.
Her background includes many kinds of life challenges and emotional struggle. She focuses on practical, everyday steps that make life easier to manage. Sessions often begin by identifying what feels most urgent and what can change in small, clear ways.
Background and approach
Mirta adapts her approach to each person rather than using one fixed method for everyone. Her work draws on several therapy styles, including client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques. She also uses solution-focused tools and motivational interviewing to set goals and track progress.
These are used to address issues like grief, addictions, relationship problems, and low self-esteem. Mirta values cultural awareness and aims to meet people where they are. She listens first and then helps people try practical strategies they can test between sessions.
The therapy room is a place to name feelings and practice new responses. Clients can expect a mix of listening, skill-building, and planning during sessions. Mirta encourages people to try counseling and then decide if it fits.
Her Texas practice serves English-speaking clients and aims to help people regain steadier footing during hard times.
How Mirta’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on active listening and understanding a person’s experience. Online sessions use this approach to let clients talk through what matters most while the therapist reflects and helps name feelings and goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts and behaviors to find small, testable changes. In video or phone sessions CBT is used to practice skills, set homework, and track progress between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mirta will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time based on what helps, so the plan is adjusted together during sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and real-time interaction. Phone sessions work well for lower bandwidth or a quicker check-in. Live chat and messaging are useful for short check-ins, tracking progress, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make therapy more flexible around work, caregiving, and daily life while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
