About Saundra
Saundra Rankin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 23 years of experience. She helps people who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues around self-esteem and motivation. She approaches each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths that can be used to move forward.
She focuses on practical steps and clear goals. Sessions are conversational and aim to make changes that matter day to day. Saundra listens for what’s getting in the way and offers straightforward strategies to try between meetings.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a common tool she uses. That approach looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and helps people test new ways of thinking and behaving. It can be helpful for anxiety, low mood, sleep disruption, and stress management.
Over two decades of work has included supporting people through grief, career strain, compassion fatigue, bipolar concerns, and challenges tied to LGBT identity and family stress. She frames challenges as problems to solve rather than fixed traits, and she invites clients to set practical goals for relief.
Starting therapy here means taking small, concrete steps. Saundra encourages honest talk, realistic plans, and steady progress. The emphasis is on manageable change and on building back routines that support better rest and daily functioning.
How CBT and online work can help with sleep and stress
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and change habits that keep stress and poor sleep going. That approach is often used for anxiety, low mood, and sleep disruption.In sessions she focuses on simple, actionable steps. The therapist and client work together to pick approaches that fit the person's goals and daily life. Finding the right mix of tools is a collaborative process and may change over time as needs shift.
Session formats and scheduling can affect how therapy fits into a routine. The site lists session options on the booking flow, so confirm the current formats before scheduling. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a workday, cut out travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when a full hour isn't possible. Many people find that meeting remotely helps them keep consistent appointments and practice techniques in real life between sessions.
