About Mirta
Mirta Z. Sandoval is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of experience. She has a background in the social sciences and military service in the United States Air Force. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, depression, addictions, relationship concerns, self-esteem struggles, bipolar issues, and coping with life changes.
She meets each person where their situation and goals lead. Sessions begin by talking through what feels most urgent and practical. She uses conversation to identify patterns, test small changes, and build clearer ways to handle strong emotions and difficult decisions.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Existential Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means some sessions focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, while others help clarify personal meaning and next steps. Motivational techniques can help when a person is unsure about making or sustaining change.
Mirta describes herself as culturally aware and comfortable working with people from varied backgrounds. She brings experience from community and clinical settings and from her time in uniform. Conversations tend to be straightforward and practical, aimed at helping someone regain a clearer sense of their own choices and limits.
If a person is living around another's drinking, trouble saying no, or losing themselves in relationships, she can help name the pattern and try approaches to set firmer boundaries and reduce overwhelm.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping a person clarify their own concerns and choices. In practice this often means open conversation about what matters most and what feels blocking, which can help when someone is stuck in people-pleasing or unsure about boundaries.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps identify patterns that keep stress and anxiety active and tests small practical changes to reduce those patterns, useful for anxiety, depression, and some addictive behaviors.
Motivational Interviewing helps a person weigh their reasons for change and resolve mixed feelings. It is practical when someone is uncertain about setting limits, changing substance use, or making other life changes.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with the client about goals and preferences and try methods that fit those needs. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as progress is made.
Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins, or avoid travel time. Discussing what works best - like longer weekly sessions or brief check-ins - happens during the first scheduling steps so sessions can match real-world routines.
