Mirta Z. Sandoval, LPC

Mirta Z. Sandoval is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, depression, addictions, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and major life changes. She also addresses related issues like abandonment, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, and substance use challenges. Mirta draws on 15 years of experience in the social sciences and in counseling work to support practical change.

She served in the United States Air Force, with both stateside and overseas assignments, and brings that life experience into her work. Mirta uses a flexible approach that changes to fit each person’s needs. She can offer straightforward skill-building, problem-solving conversations, or deeper reflective work depending on what the individual needs.

Her methods include client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, existential inquiry, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. That means sessions might focus on clarifying values, changing unhelpful thinking and behavior, strengthening motivation, and setting concrete goals for progress.

Mirta describes herself as empathetic, caring, and open-minded. She asks people to try counseling and then decide if it feels right. The goal is practical help so clients do not have to handle difficult feelings and situations on their own.

To begin, prospective clients use the site’s Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Mirta’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist prioritizes empathy, reflective listening, and supporting a client’s own goals, which helps when sorting through stress, grief, or self-esteem questions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches simple tools to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with life changes by practicing new skills between sessions.

Existential therapy invites discussion about values, meaning, and life direction. That approach can help people facing midlife questions, life purpose concerns, or big transitions by focusing on choices and personal responsibility.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mirta will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts her style over time if something else seems more helpful.

If you plan to try online therapy, confirm the session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow short check-ins when needed, and let people join from different locations when that suits their schedule. Licensed professionals can often combine reflective conversations with practical CBT exercises and motivational strategies in an online setting to help clients move forward.
