01About Saundra
Saundra Rankin is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, and changes in life. She supports people dealing with grief, intimacy concerns, sleep problems, anger, career stress, bipolar challenges, and compassion fatigue. Her work also includes LGBT and family-related issues.
She prefers straightforward conversations. Sessions focus on identifying problems, trying practical steps, and building on existing strengths. Saundra treats each person as the expert on their own life and works collaboratively to set realistic goals.
Background and approach
Her approach uses clear tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and change patterns that keep problems going. That often means trying short experiments between sessions and learning simple skills to manage emotions. People can expect direct feedback and task-focused work when that fits their goals.
She balances structure with listening to what matters most to the person in front of her. Saundra brings 23 years of professional experience as a Texas-based clinician to her practice. She emphasizes small, practical steps a person can take right away.
The aim is less overwhelm and more usable ways to cope and move forward.

04Online support
Practical approaches and flexible online care
Saundra primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and depression. CBT breaks problems into smaller parts so people can try short experiments and learn tools that change daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means adapting exercises and the pace of work so it feels useful rather than overwhelming.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face connection and longer sessions, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can fit quick check-ins, brief reflections, or sessions that work around a busy schedule. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care and try different formats to see what fits best.
