About Sandra

Sandra Miramontes is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with ten years of clinical experience. She practices in Florida and offers therapy for a wide range of concerns including relationship strain, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting stress.

Sandra uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centered work, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). In sessions she helps people name hard emotions, notice patterns that keep repeating, and try new ways of relating to themselves and others. She adapts what she does to the issue a person brings rather than applying one method to everyone.

Before licensure she completed a Master of Science degree in Counseling and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from accredited universities. Those degrees inform her clinical thinking and case work. Her LMFT credential is held in Florida and Tennessee and she brings ten years of direct practice to each client contact.

Sandra provides care for a broad set of concerns including intimacy-related issues, anger, addictions, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and more. She also addresses topics like attachment issues, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, body image, chronic illness, and communication problems. She speaks English and Spanish and works with people from diverse cultural backgrounds.

To get started she asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online booking flow.

How her approaches translate to online work

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name strong emotions and the patterns those emotions create in relationships. In short sessions the focus is on noticing interaction cycles and trying different responses to shift those patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take small actions toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and aims to change how people respond to closeness and distance.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Sandra will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can shift over time as needs change or as someone wants to try different ways of working.

Confirm session formats before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins, avoid travel time, and offer more flexible scheduling. Talk with her during the first meeting about pacing, how much focus will be on emotions versus skills work, and practical details so sessions match daily life.
