Sandra Miramontes , LMFT

Sandra Miramontes is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who helps people facing relationship strain, anxiety, depression, and changes in life roles. She speaks English and Spanish and brings ten years of professional experience to her work. Her style is straightforward and focused on practical steps people can use between sessions.

She adapts common therapeutic tools to the concern at hand rather than using a single method for everyone. Sessions often include skills practice, values-based goal setting, and conversations about patterns that keep problems repeating. Sandra aims to make therapy feel useful from the start so clients can notice small changes quickly.

Sandra trained in counseling and holds a Master of Science degree in Counseling and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. Her license is LMFT and she practices in Florida. That background guides how she approaches relationship issues, trauma, parenting strain, and mood concerns like bipolar and depression.

Common topics she addresses include intimacy-related worries, grief, addiction struggles, stress and burnout, and self-esteem. She also works with concerns tied to attachment, abandonment, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and communication breakdowns. Sandra draws from several therapy approaches to match the work to the person.

Sessions are framed as a collaborative process where the client’s goals lead the plan. Time is spent building practical strategies, testing what works, and adjusting as needed. The approach is goal-oriented but responsive to each person’s pace and needs.

How therapeutic approaches translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, committed actions toward them. Online sessions using ACT often include tracking values-based goals and short exercises clients can practice between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. In virtual sessions CBT work may include thought records, activity scheduling, and role-play that fits video or chat formats.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and struggles, explain a few options, and try methods that match your needs. If something doesn't fit, strategies are adjusted together so the work feels relevant and doable.

Online therapy makes it easier to connect regularly from different locations. Video calls let therapists and clients work face to face; phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short updates, journaling prompts, or checking progress between sessions. These formats give practical flexibility while keeping the focus on the same therapeutic skills and goals used in person.
