Suandria Houston , LPC

Suandria Houston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, parenting concerns, and coping with life changes. Suandria works with people who are facing depression and family-related stresses, and she brings a calm, straightforward approach to sessions.

She sees therapy as a collaborative process. Sessions start by listening to what matters most to each person and identifying small, doable steps forward. She blends client-centered listening with practical tools so people can practice new ways of thinking and relating between meetings.

Suandria uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviors. She also uses mindfulness practices to reduce overwhelm and build steady attention. For relationship work she draws on the Gottman Method and Imago relationship ideas to improve communication and rebuild trust.

Her multicultural perspective informs how she talks about identity, race, and background when those topics come up. She aims to create a space where differences are understood and respected while focusing on concrete goals. Suandria offers a mix of empathy and structure to help people move through hard moments.

Clients can expect clear explanations of ideas and short exercises to try between sessions. She practices in Georgia and conducts work in English, including with international clients. The process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling that fits each person’s needs.

Approaches and online options for relationship and anxiety work

Suandria commonly uses client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and Gottman Method ideas. Client-centered work means starting with careful listening and helping people name their goals. It’s useful when someone needs space to process feelings and decide what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors; it can help reduce anxiety and change patterns that keep problems going. The Gottman Method brings practical communication tools and exercises for people looking to improve trust and connection in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily life, and then suggest methods to try. That plan can change over time based on what helps most, and decisions are made collaboratively rather than imposed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video lets you use visual cues and longer sessions for deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text sessions offer shorter check-ins or ongoing support between longer meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life, or irregular schedules while keeping the focus on steady progress.
