More about Sandra

  • 14 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

Hello and welcome. I'm so glad you're here.

My name is Sandra Morales, and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 14 years of experience providing therapy to individuals from all walks of life. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of supporting people through a wide range of challenges including trauma, depression, anxiety, various life issues, substance use, and other addictions.

My approach is grounded in compassion, authenticity, and respect. I believe that you are the expert of your own life. While the road to healing isn’t always easy, I trust in your inner strength and resilience. My role is to walk alongside you, helping you access the tools, insight, and clarity you already carry within you.

I utilize a blend of evidence-based practices tailored to your needs, and I create a safe, supportive space where you can explore, heal, and grow at your own pace. Whether you're navigating life challenges or ready to process long-standing patterns, therapy can be a transformative step toward deeper self-understanding and peace.

Taking the first step can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to support you, every step of the way.

Let’s begin your journey together.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
