Resa Sandora , LISW-CP, LCSW

Resa Sandora is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience. She holds LISW-CP and LCSW credentials and practices in South Carolina. Resa frames her work around real-life changes and practical ways to cope. She speaks English and welcomes people from diverse backgrounds without judgment.

Her approach is straightforward and person-centered. Sessions focus on identifying what is most pressing and on building manageable steps forward. She helps people name their stressors, sort through anxiety, and set goals that fit everyday life.

Resa offers help for a wide range of concerns including parenting stress, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, ADHD, depression, career questions, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiver strain, midlife transitions, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and issues tied to women's health.

In conversations she listens for strengths and practical options. She aims to make therapy a place where people can talk openly about identity, sexual orientation, and life changes without feeling judged. The work is collaborative and paced to each person's needs.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions according to therapist availability. Resa uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and preferences.

Approaches that guide online work

Resa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical coping and problem solving. One common approach emphasizes short-term goal setting and skill building to reduce anxiety and manage stress; it helps people develop clear steps they can try between sessions. Another approach centers on processing trauma and building safety in daily routines, which can help when past experiences are interfering with current relationships and functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and is done together. The therapist listens to the person's concerns, discusses options, and adjusts methods based on what feels most useful. This collaborative planning helps tailor sessions to individual goals and life circumstances.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make it easier to fit support into a busy life. Video lets people work face to face from different locations, phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging helps keep communication ongoing between sessions. These options provide flexibility so work, caregiving, or health needs are easier to manage while pursuing therapeutic goals.
