Reynie Sandoval

Reynie Sandoval is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience in mental health care. He focuses on helping people build lasting well-being and greater life satisfaction. Reynie brings warmth, acceptance, and compassion to each meeting and aims to understand who a person is and what they need.

He often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, teaching practical skills to handle everyday stress while also addressing deeper issues. Reynie explains feelings, helps people accept difficult emotions, and supports choices that match their values.

He also draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR when those methods fit the situation. Sometimes Reynie teaches concrete skills like coping strategies and thought work. Other times he offers steady listening so clients can feel understood.

Reynie has worked with a wide range of concerns across his career, including stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship and self-esteem issues, and aspects related to intellectual disability. He also addresses caregiver stress, communication problems, substance concerns, and feelings of isolation.

People who meet with him can expect a calm, patient style that balances skill-building with empathy. Reynie values collaboration and will work with each person to find approaches that match their goals and life circumstances.

Approaches that translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then move toward actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life direction concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve daily functioning. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) addresses distress tied to difficult memories by processing those memories in a structured way, which some people find helpful for trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Reynie will work together with the person to determine which methods fit best for their goals, preferences, and what feels manageable in day-to-day life. He adapts techniques as needed and checks in about progress along the way.

Session formats are not detailed here, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, reduce travel time, and allow a therapist to share exercises and worksheets between meetings. Some formats also let people do shorter check-ins or avoid being on camera if that suits them better. These practical benefits can help therapy feel more accessible while keeping the focus on making useful changes.
