About Sandra
Sandra Roberts is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 17 years of experience. She offers a warm, approachable style and aims to treat people with respect. She draws on her Christian faith in sessions but does not impose beliefs on others.
Sandra often helps parents who feel overwhelmed, people coping with anxiety or depression, and those managing anger or trauma. She focuses on practical skills parents can use at home, clear communication strategies, and concrete steps to reduce stress.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to be straightforward and conversational. Sandra also teaches classes on parenting topics and on anger management when needed. Sandra earned both a BA and a Master of Arts in Counseling from Lincoln Christian College and Seminary.
Her background includes in-person work and online telehealth across different settings. She has experience supporting people who are recovering from domestic violence and from childhood abuse. In session she mixes listening with actionable suggestions.
That can mean role-playing difficult conversations, practicing calming techniques, or setting small goals to try between meetings. She also offers coaching-style support for people who want clear direction and accountability. Clients can expect a focus on real-life changes rather than abstract theory.
Sandra communicates in plain language and keeps sessions focused on what will help day to day. Her work is grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques and practical parenting support.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit busy parents
Two evidence-based approaches are often useful in Sandra's work. Cognitive-behavioral style techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments, which helps with anxiety, panic, and low mood. Trauma-informed support pays attention to safety and gradual processing of painful memories, helping people who have experienced abuse or domestic violence feel more stable and in control.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist starts by asking about your goals, daily routines, and what you hope will change. Together you pick strategies to try and adjust them over time so they match your needs and preferences.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video works well for deeper conversations and role-play, phone calls can fit a busy schedule or lower bandwidth, and text or chat are useful for short check-ins and coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to keep momentum while balancing family, work, and daily life.
