LCSW, 2 years of experience
My name is Sandra McKnight, I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Texas, I love serving my clients, who are struggling with stress and anxiety, coping with grief and loss, career difficulties, & coping with life changes. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to help you navigate the complexities of life and promote positive change. Together we can explore the path towards healing, growth, and a renewed sense of wellbeing.
First impressions are the most lasting impression. During the first session is our opportunity to learn the who, what, and why of therapy and then address how we will work together to acheive their goals.
My Greatest strength is the ability to listen with a non judgemental ear, reaching the client where they are in this journey and helping them navigate through this process of healing.
There are times when a listening ear is all that is needed. More often, having someone to partner with, to help navigate life challenges are needed . Sometimes these challenges may cause feelings of anxiety, depression, or grief to manifest. Short-term solution focused, talk therapy can be beneficial with helping to restore balance in your life.
Sandra McKnight offers therapy covered by UnitedHealthcare/Optum - Medicaid in Texas.
I employ multiple treatment modalities to meet the client at their place of need.
I am equipped to provide sound biblical wisdom when it is requested by the client.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is the primary modality that I use to help decrease symptoms of anxiety and depression, working to help challenge negative thoughts and changing the way the client looks at things.
Sometimes someone may need help processing their grief, be it 1 day, 1 month. or over a year, Loss of anythig, anyone may be traumatic and help may be needed to regain a sense of balance in life.
Being present in the moment can be a helpful tool to help minimize stress, anxiety and depression. This may mean practicing guided imagery, special breathing techniques, or other skills/ activities.
