About Reynie
Reynie Sandoval is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and related concerns. He focuses on practical steps that fit into everyday life while also paying attention to deeper issues that affect long-term well-being.
Reynie brings a calm, accepting presence to sessions and aims to understand each person's values and priorities before planning next steps. He often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them.
Background and approach
That work includes skill-building for handling daily stress and making choices that match what matters most. He also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking patterns and on EMDR when past events continue to cause distress. Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth.
Sometimes he teaches a specific skill to try between meetings, and other times he listens so a person can feel heard and think things through. He pays attention to issues such as relationship strain, low self-esteem, ADHD-related challenges, and problems tied to family of origin. People who reach out can expect a steady, nonjudgmental approach.
Reynie aims to help people set clear, manageable goals and build confidence in their ability to handle hard moments. He also supports those facing caregiver stress, addiction concerns, difficulties with control or impulsivity, and struggles with guilt or shame. Outside of therapy he spends time with family, makes and plays music, and follows sports.
He looks for ways to keep the work practical and meaningful, and he welcomes a conversation to see if his style fits your needs.
How Reynie’s approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and feelings and then take committed steps toward what matters. Online ACT work often includes simple exercises, values clarification, and brief skill practices people can use between sessions to handle anxiety and stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and testing negative thoughts and trying small behavior changes to see what helps. Delivered by video or phone, CBT usually involves concrete homework tasks and clear strategies for managing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is used when past events continue to cause distress. When appropriate, elements of EMDR can be adapted to online formats so a person can process disturbing memories while the therapist guides the pacing and techniques.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with a person about goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up, then recommend which methods to try first. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people work face-to-face from different locations, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option, and messaging or chat supports shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between sessions.
